How do Italian Universities compare with British Universities, and the importance of Charles Dickens.

Submitted by Alan R. S. Ponter on

Mike Ciavarelli and I discussed the possibility of doing a comparison of Italian and British Universities. On reflection, I could not decide where to begin but wrote the attached. It is part personal experience, part history and part Charles Dickens who was born 200 years ago today. If you don't understand the connection, read on.

Thermal problem !

Submitted by mystar_bkc10 on

Dear All !

I had one non-understood problem when i made thermal excerise as below : Analysis in ANSYS

"One closed box with bonded-contact parts which was placed in 50 C ambient temperature. I made boundary as Convection with simplied case film coeffient and 50 C ambient temperature. Then i analyzed with two cases of Box material.

First, Box material is Composite with 50(W/m.k) Isotropic Thermal Conduction. Second, Box material is Cast Iron with 0.48(W/m.k) Isotropic Thermal Conduction.
