Abstract

The similarity between a thermal system) and an electrical system is used as an alternative method for solving thermal problems. Numerical equations of the thermal system are converted to electrical equations to form an electrical circuit simulation model. Computer programs are readily available for solving the electrical circuit problem. Numerical solutions to the heat transfer phenomenon in question can be easily obtained by converting the electrical voltage and current to heat and temperature. In this paper, the electrical circuit simulation technique is
