Theory of Heat Conduction for Two Region Problems Using Green's Functions
03 Apr 2012 | | Contributor(s):: Donald E. Amos
This paper derives equations which describe transient temperature distributions in adjacent regions which share a common boundary. These regions consist of materials with distinct, constant physical properties. The theory is developed for two types of boundary contact. The first formula is...

Theory of Heat Conduction with Type 5 Boundary Condition
19 Feb 2014 | | Contributor(s):: Donald E. Amos
In the classical theory, the general solution of the heat conduction problem is expressed in terms of the Green's function. Terms which take into account volumetric heat generation, an initial temperature distribution and boundary conditions can be identified. In the current literature (...

Transient Heat Conduction in Adjacent Quadrants Separated by a Thermal Resistance
19 Jan 2012 | | Contributor(s):: Donald E. Amos, James Vere Beck, Filippo de Monte
Abstract Two linear, transient heat conduction problems set in quadrants 1 and 2 of the (x,y) plane are solved. In each problem, the quadrants have distinct, constant physical properties and are separated by an infinitely thin thermal resistance along the y-axis. Each region is initially at zero...
