Abstract

Heat flow stability profiles in the presence of external thermal field require careful qualitative treatment. The computational data must be considered to agree with realistic models. A hexagonal plate endowed with the thermal and material properties of a pure metal was chosen as test case and finite element algorithm was employed to obtain the numerical solutions of the temperature distributions. This was simulated with the aid of Matlab tool. Result shows that the radiation and logarithmic potentials have no disturbance on the stability profiles when compared with a control model. Classically, the circular orbits result in the event that the total internal thermal energy equals the global minimum of the applied potential. It is thus predicted that adjustment of the computational data would influence the entropy profiles of the system which in turn distorts the stability profiles in a stochastic manner.

Keywords: Thermal potentials, control model, stability profiles, saddle points, finite element algorithm
