This is my first posting to the list.

Well, my work is on thermal analyses using the FEA tool ANSYS.

My model involves some parametric studies of a cooled thick cylinder. Cooling is by coolant flowing along axis of the cylinder in holes which are placed circumferentially.

I have searched though many books looking for a general expression which gives me the amount of heat at the inner and outer surface of the cylinder AWA the cooling surface (hole surface) of the cylinder given the temperatures at all the three surfaces. (Hope the explanation of the model is clear)

Has anybody here has dealt with a similar thermal structure?
