Dear all,
I try to model heat transfer with time derivative heat source Q=dq/dt, with q=Qm*exp(Tau/t)^(Beta)
Qm, Tau, Beta are constant.
Are there anyone know how write dQ/dt in COMSOL?
I have tried either qt or d(Qm*exp(Tau/t)^(Beta),t) but both of them doesn't work.
I got the following error:
Failed to evaluate variable Jacobian.
- Variable: qt
- Geometry: 1
- Domain: 1
- Feature: Time-Dependent Solver 1 (sol1/t1)
Are there anyone know how write dQ/dt in COMSOL?
Thank you for any help.

In addition, when I used Q as d(Qmax*exp(-(Tau/t)^(Beta)),t), I got the error below:
Failed to find consistent initial values.
Last time step is not converged.
- Feature: Time-Dependent Solver 1 (sol1/t1)
Can you help me?
Thanks.

Hi
It is of course possible to calculate the derivative in closed form:
dq/dt = -[(Qm·beta·Tau)/t²]*exp(beta·Tau/t)
The problem is that at t = 0 this has a singularity, as well as q itself. Your error message probably is related to that.
It is not my business, but from where such a peculiar function? Usually you see the form exp(t/Tau) where Tau is some characteristic time of the system.

Hi Lasse,
Thank you very much for your quick respond.
I agree with you that at t = 0 this has a singularity.
From your answer above, I got new idea to avoid t=0 by changing t to very small values for instance t=0.0001.
It is working properly.
Regarding to the function, it is typical function describing the heat produced by the hydration reaction of cement-based materials. It is also mentioned in the several literature's.
Anyway, thank you very much for your answer. It gave me fresh inspiration to solve it.
