Mathematical Models and Computer Simulations Aims and scope

Abstract

We propose a mathematical model for the heat transfer in ground tubular air coolers to construct the temperature field in it. The aim is to find the least admissible distance between the tubes. We visually present the results obtained in a program developed according to this model on MATLAB and in the PDE Toolbox MATLAB environment. Comparing the obtained results, we see that they are close to each other.
