Abstract: In this report we use the finite element method (FEM) to execute a steady-state thermal analysis, whose principal results are the determination of temperature and heat flux vector inside of a metal structure (like the junction of a pipe with a cylindrical tank). This problem was solved using thefirst law of thermodynamics, which was applied in classical form to each node of each finite element resulted after an adequate discreteness inside of work boundaries. AII ofthese aspects will be discussed in the following.
