I don't believe I can leave New England.
What will happen if I have to sit in a job that does no engineering while looking for a job that does? I could be here for years waiting and looking.
I have a BS in Electrical Engineering from Northeastern University. When I graduated in 2006, I left the school with $80k in loans. I took a job with the Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC) in RI, and have been working there for the past 5+ years. The reason I took the job was because of loans...
I've made some progress with this problem. I've developed two solutions: one is an algebraic extension of constant heat flux, and the other is an FDM solver for the governing PDE.
Question:
Assuming laminar flow, incompressible fluid, the PDE is
v0*cp*rho*(1 - r^2/R^2)dT/dx = k*Laplacian(T)...
IRstuff,
On the contrary, I am designing a microfluidic temperature/flow sensor... it acts kind of like a solid-state hot wire anemometer.
Imagine fluid flowing through a channel cut into a material with a high positive-temperature-coefficient. On each side of the channel are two pairs of...
prex,
Making the assumption of radial temperature is acceptable. I'll re-work my posted diagram to make sure I understand your advice. Thanks.
Once I get this part down I'll try to use FDM to move forward.
I've posted a diagram of my problem.

I am an electrical engineer and I just finished reading "Introduction to Heat Transfer" by Incropera and DeWitt. I am new to heat transfer. I want to find what the internal surface temperature of a pipe is as a function of axial distance from the inlet (assuming incompressible fluid with...
