abstract: in this paper, a new population-based search called the bees algorithm (ba) is presented to estimate the time-dependent heat transfer coefficient and the corresponding heat flux at the boundaries of a two-dimensional body subjected to transient heat conduction, using the temperature measurements at discrete nodal locations on the boundaries, where heat flux is specified as the boundar...

This paper considers a linear one dimensional inverse heat conduction problem with non constant thermal diffusivity and two unknown terms in a heated bar with unit length. By using the WKB method, the heat flux at the end of boundary and initial temperature will be approximated, numerically. By choosing a suitable parameter in WKB method the ill-posedness of solution will be improved. Finally, ...

In this paper, the Method of Fundamental Solutions (MFS) is extended to solve some special cases of the problem of transient heat conduction in functionally graded materials. First, the problem is transformed to a heat equation with constant coefficients using a suitable new transformation and then the MFS together with the Tikhonov regularization method is used to solve the resulting equation.

Radiative heat transfer in participating medium has been carried out using the finite volume method. The radiative transfer equations are formulated for absorbing and anisotropically scattering and emitting medium. The solution strategy is discussed and the conditions for computational stability are conferred. The equations have been solved for transient radiative medium and transient radiation...

The method of superposition and separation variables is applied to gain analytical solutions to the transient heat conduction for a two dimensional cylindrical fin. The temperature distributions are generalized for a linear combination of the product of Bessel function, Fourier series and exponential type for nine different cases. The solutions presented in this study can be used to verify the ...

Fractional calculus has many advantages. Under consideration of this paper is a (2+1)-dimensional non-linear local fractional heat conduction equation with arbitrary degree non-linearity. Backlund transformation reduced form the constructed by Painleve analysis. Based on transformation, some exact non-differentiable solutions are obtained. To gain more insights obtained solutions, two constrain...
