Abstract

In Chap. 19, the authors discuss how one-dimensional solutions can be employed to determine two or three-dimensional temperature distributions, using the superposition method. They also compile formulas for calculating temperature distribution with boundary conditions of 1st, 2nd and 3rd kind. Formulas are derived for a transient temperature distribution in a plate with convective boundary conditions or a surface-set heat flux. The authors also present two computational examples that illustrate how temperature can be determined in a cylinder of a finite length and in a cuboidal steel block.
