APPLICATIONS OF FOURIER SERIES TECHNIQUE TO TRANSIENT HEAT TRANSFER PROBLEM

Abstract

Abstract For transient heat transfer problem with uniform initial temperature, the Laplace transformation method is considerably powerful. However, it is very difficult and complicated to solve the inverse transform of the subsidiary equation of the given differential equation. The technique of Fourier series can be used in order to obtain the inverse transform. The analysis of transient heat transfer problem of two-dimensional and one-dimensional straight fins is considered here to testify the merit of this method.
