The flux plot


An example ---- flux plot of a chimney


How to sketch the isothermal lines and the adiabatic, or heat flow, lines
Isothermal and adiabatic lines must intersect at a right angles They must subdivide the flow field into elements that are nearly square

How to construct a flux plot


Draw the boundary of the region Identify either an isothermal or adiabatic line Dividing the region, by sketching in either a single isothermal or adiabatic line Fill in the lines perpendicular to the original line so as to make squares

How to use the sketch


Read local temperature Find the heat flow
