Abstract

In this chapter the Fourier heat conduction equation along with the boundary conditions and the initial conditions for various coordinate systems are recalled. One-dimensional heat conduction problems in Cartesian coordinates, cylindrical coordinates and spherical coordinates are treated for both the steady and the transient temperature fields. The particular problems and solutions for heat conduction in a strip, a solid cylinder, a hollow circular cylinder and a hollow sphere are presented for various boundary conditions. [See also Chap. 22.]
