Abstract

A method based on the Laplace Transform Technique has been developed to solve the problem of transient one-dimensional heat conduction in a composite plane wall. The temperature distribution is obtained in close form in thes-domain. A series inverse transformation method is used to obtain the temperatures in the time domain. To illustrate the method, it has been applied to evaluate the transient response of three representative composite plane walls.

Zusammenfassung

Hier ist ein auf der Laplace-Transformation basierendes Verfahren entwickelt worden, um das Problem der transienten eindimensionalen Wärmeleitung in einer zusammengesetzten ebenen Wand zu lösen. Die Temperaturverteilung ist durch die geschlossene Form ims-Bereich erhalten worden. Es sind eine Reihe von Transformationsverfahren benutzt worden, um die Temperatur im Zeitbereich zu erhalten. Um das Verfahren zu veranschaulichen, wurde für die Berechnung der transienten Reaktion der drei repräsentativen, zusammengefügten, ebenen Wände angewandt.
