We look at a basic introduction to classical models of heat conduction, with a few examples including both finite and infinite systems, with techniques appropriate to each based on the boundary and initial conditions. Portions of the paper follow chapter 11 of Theoretical Mechanics of Particles and Continua [1], where I have attempted to expand the analysis in an attempt to provide clarity wher...

The deterioration of the performance of a cross flow heat exchanger with condensation due to the longitudinal conduction was investigated. For a relatively small change of wall temperature along the flow directions which was shown to be common in many applications, the energy equations were solved numerically. An iterative method was used to solve the resulting equations of the finite differenc...

The interaction of thermal radiation with conduction and laminar natural convection in a vertical circular pin, situated at participating gas, is numerically investigated. An absorbing and emitting gas is considered, and treated to be a gray participating media. Under the idealizing of gray gas, the Rosselan4 approximation is employed to describe the radiative heat flux in the energy equation. ...

in the present paper, a numerical method is considered for solving one-dimensionalheat equation subject to both neumann and dirichlet initial boundaryconditions. this method is a combination of collocation method and radial basis functions (rbfs). the operational matrix of derivative for laguerre-gaussians (lg) radial basis functions is used to reduce the problem to a set of algebraic equations...

This paper presents an exact analytical solution for two-dimensional conductive heat transfer in spherical composite pressure vessels .The vessels are in spherical shape and fibers are winded in circumferential direction. The analytical solution is obtained under the general boundary conditions which consist of convection, conduction and radiation inside/outside of vessel. The heat transfer equ...

Investigation to evaluate axial wall heat conduction has been conducted for heat transfer in a laminar flow circular tube with two classical thermal boundary conditions at the outside wall. The tube ends are either adiabatic or with heat losses. The simulation is three-dimensional with various wall materials, wall thicknesses and tube lengths. A wide range of Peclet number from 7 to 14,000 is c...

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...

Non-stationary heat conduction in a single-walled carbon nanotube was investigated by applying a local heat pulse with duration of sub-picoseconds. The investigation was based on classical molecular dynamics simulations, where the heat pulse was generated as coherent fluctuations by connecting a thermostat to the local cell for a short duration. The heat conduction through the nanotube was obse...
