Hello,

I have the following problem: I would like, from a tungsten filament which an electric current is imposed, find the temperature emitted from the filament (Joule heating) on ansys workbench.

I have to study a thermoelectrical , but I can not find any tutorial.

Does anyone have examples or tutorial to deal with this problem on workbech?

Thank you in advance

I should have looked up what an ansy workbench was before giving an answer.
An ansy workbench is a simulation program.
Rewrote this to give a sensible answer.

The question is not clear. Do you want to calculate the temperature of a tungsten filament or do you want to measure the watts from a tungsten filament or the temperature of some object near the tungsten filament?

FAQ: How Do You Model Joule Heating in ANSYS Workbench for a Tungsten Filament?

What is Joule heating and how does it work in ANSYS Workbench?

Joule heating is the process of converting electrical energy into heat energy, and it can be simulated in ANSYS Workbench using the Joule Heating feature. This feature allows you to define the electrical conductivity and current density of a material, and then calculates the resulting heat generation based on the Joule heating equation.

Can Joule heating be applied to any material in ANSYS Workbench?

Yes, Joule heating can be applied to any material as long as its electrical conductivity and current density are defined. This feature is particularly useful for materials that are commonly used in electrical circuits, such as metals and semiconductors.

What are the typical applications of Joule heating in ANSYS Workbench?

Joule heating is commonly used in ANSYS Workbench for simulating the thermal behavior of electronic components, such as resistors and circuit boards. It can also be used in applications where heat generation due to electrical current is a concern, such as in electric motors and generators.

Is there a limit to the amount of current that can be simulated in Joule heating in ANSYS Workbench?

Yes, there is a limit to the current density that can be simulated in Joule heating in ANSYS Workbench. This limit is typically determined by the electrical properties of the material being simulated, and exceeding this limit may result in inaccurate results or errors in the simulation.

Can Joule heating be used to simulate transient heat generation in ANSYS Workbench?

Yes, Joule heating can be used to simulate both steady-state and transient heat generation in ANSYS Workbench. The simulation time step can be adjusted to capture the transient behavior of the system, and the results can be viewed over a specified time period.
