Hello,
I have been playing around with a simulation software package and ran a heat transfer simulation however, to me the results did not seem intuitive. From my understanding the distance heat travels in a specific amount of time is proportional to the temperature difference, for example, if the temperature difference is large then heat will travel faster than if a smaller temperature difference. I had ran this simulation at two different temperatures:
350 K: https://imageshack.com/i/gh2ybgp
271 K: https://imageshack.com/i/euj54bp
Both with an initial temperature of 270 K. I would have thought that the 350 k simulation would have a different profile in which the temperature would have traveled further. Is this simulation incorrect or am I just looking at these results wrong?
Thank you.
