Abstract

In this chapter an integral heat balance method, which is an approximate method [18], was applied to solve various engineering problems. It ensures fast obtaining of an approximated solution, marked by simplicity of form. Accuracy of approximated solution is higher when heat flow is significantly larger in one direction than it is in others. For this reason, integral heat balance method is recommended for determining steady-state temperature fields, which are not much different from one-dimensional steady-state temperature field.
