Type of article: Article, IJR article

Summary

METHODS FOR PREDICTION OF TEMPERATURE-TIME PROFILES IN SOLIDS UNDERGOING HEATING OR COOLING ARE EXAMINED. BECAUSE PHYSICAL DATA ARE OFTEN UNCERTAIN A PREDICTION METHOD THAT IS ACCURATE TO ABOUT 10% IS ADEQUATE IN MANY SITUATIONS. A PROCEDURE IS PROPOSED THAT MEETS THIS CRITERION, IS SIMPLE TO USE, AND IS APPLICABLE TO A WIDE RANGE OF REGULAR AND IRREGULAR SHAPES. THE METHOD INTRODUCES A CONCEPT OF THE NUMBER OF EQUIVALENT HEAT TRANSFER DIMENSIONS TO TAKE ACCOUNT OF THE SOLID'S GEOMETRY. ALIGNMENT CHARTS CAN THEN BE USED TO FIND THE CENTRE TEMPERATURE OF A BODY AS A FUNCTION OF TIME AND THE EXTERNAL HEAT TRANSFER CONDITIONS.
