Abstract :
This paper presents an analysis of heat transfer from the surrounding area skin of newborn under using infant radiant warmer (IRW) by finite element three-dimensional software. And to compare the results of heat transfer measurements from experiments on the IRW in used everywhere. In this study, results are obtained for a simplified model. It is equipped with. Systems design, the properties of materials and processing methods using finite element three-dimensional software. The results of the simulation using COMSOL Multiphysics 3.5a programs will be compared with the experimental results of heat transfer in newborn skin mounted on the IRW. The criteria are in the form of a temperature graph that is installed in a location that is designed to provide a virtual environment as far as possible. To ensure the accuracy of the experimental verification of the simulation method, the finite element model at 3 D. In order to make the research more easily add features in the future.
