Graphical Presentation of Difference Solutions for Transient Radial Heat Conduction in Hollow Cylinders with Heat Transfer at the Inner Radius and Finite Slabs with Heat Transfer at One Boundary

摘要

Nondimensional temperature distributions for transient radial heat conduction through hollow cylinders and one-dimensional heat conduction in slabs of finite thickness are presented in graphical form for a range of heat input. The solutions are for radial heat conduction with heat transfer at the inner radius or slab heat conduction with heat transfer at one boundary. In both types of conduction it is assumed that the boundary opposite the heat-transfer surface is thermally insulated. The radial solutions cover a range of dimensionless radius ratios. The material is assumed to be homogeneous, and the physical properties are considered invariant with temperature. (Author)
