The present work investigates the problem of a cylindrical crack in a functionally graded cylinder under thermal impact by using the non-Fourier heat conduction model. The theoretical derivation is performed by methods of Fourier integral transform, Laplace transform, and Cauchy singular integral equation. The concept of heat flux intensity factor is introduced to investigate the heat concentration degree around the crack tip quantitatively. The temperature field and the heat flux intensity factor in the time domain are obtained by transforming the corresponding quantities from the Laplace domain numerically. The effects of heat conduction model, functionally graded parameter, and thermal resistance of crack on the temperature distribution and heat flux intensity factor are studied. This work is beneficial for the thermal design of functionally graded cylinder containing a cylindrical crack.

Mesoscopic approach deals with study that considers temporal fluctuations which is often averaged out in a macroscopic approach without going into the molecular or microscopic approach. Transient heat conduction cannot be fully described by Fourier representation. The non-Fourier effects or finite speed of heat propagation effect is accounted for by some investigators using the Cattaneo and Vernotte non-Fourier heat conduction equation: q=−k∂T/∂x−τr∂q/∂t(1) A generalized expression to account for the non-Fourier or thermal inertia effects suggested by Sharma (5) as: q=−k∂T/∂x−τr∂q/∂t−τr2/2!∂2q/∂t2−τr3/3!∂3q/∂t3−…(2) This was obtained by a Taylor series expansion in time domain. Manifestation of higher order terms in the modified Fourier’w law as periodicity in the time domain is considered in this study. When a CWT is maintained at one end of a medium of length L where L is the distance from the isothermal wall beyond which there is no appreciable temperature change from the initial condition during the duration of the study the transient temperature profile is obtained by the method of Laplace transforms. The space averaged heat flux is obtained and upon inversion from Laplace domain found to be a constant for the the case obeying Fourier’s law; 1 − exp(−τ) using the Cattaneo and Vernotte non-Fourier heat conduction equation, and upon introduction of the second derivative in time of the heat flux the expression becomes, 1 − exp(−τ)(Sin(τ) + Cos(τ)). Thus the periodicity in time domain is lost when the higher order terms in the generalized Fourier expression is neglected.

A general theory is devised for determining the temperature and heat flux at the surface of a solid when the temperature at an interior location is a prescribed function of time. The theory is able to accommodate an initial temperature distribution which varies arbitrarily with position throughout the solid. Detailed analytical treatment is extended to the sphere, the plane slab, and the long cylinder; and it is additionally shown that the semi-infinite solid is a particular case of the general formulation. The accuracy of the method is demonstrated by a numerical example. In addition, a numerical calculation procedure is devised which appears to provide smooth, nonoscillatory results.

To ensure personal safety and improve treatment efficiency in laser medical applications, one of the most important issues is to understand and accurately assess laser-induced thermal damage to biological tissues. Biological tissues generally consist of nonhomogeneous inner structures, in which heat flux equilibrates to the imposed temperature gradient via a thermal relaxation mechanism which cannot be explained by the traditional parabolic heat conduction model based on Fourier’s law. In this article, two non-Fourier heat conduction models, hyperbolic thermal wave model and dual-phase-lag (DPL) model, are formulated to describe the heat transfer in living biological tissues with blood perfusion and metabolic heat generation. It is shown that the non-Fourier bioheat conduction models could predict significantly different temperature and thermal damage in tissues from the traditional parabolic model. It is also found that the DPL bioheat conduction equations can be reduced to the Fourier heat conduction equations only if both phase lag times of the temperature gradient (τT) and the heat flux (τq) are zero. Effects of laser parameters and blood perfusion on the thermal damage simulated in tissues are also studied. The result shows that the overall effects of the blood flow on the thermal response and damage are similar to those of the time delay τT. The two-dimensional numerical results indicate that for a local heating with the heated spot being smaller than the tissue bulk, the variations of the non-uniform distributions of temperature suggest that the multi-dimensional effects of thermal wave and diffusion not be negligible.

Fourier’s law is a phenomenological law to describe the heat transfer process. Although it has been widely used in a variety of engineering application areas, it is still questionable to reveal the physical essence of heat transfer. In order to describe the heat transfer phenomena universally, Guo has developed a general heat conduction law based on the concept of thermomass, which is defined as the equivalent mass of phonon gas in dielectrics according to Einstein’s mass–energy relation. The general law degenerates into Fourier’s law when the thermal inertia is neglected as the heat flux is not very high. The heat flux in carbon nanotubes (CNTs) may be as high as 1012 W/m2. In this case, Fourier’s law no longer holds. However, what is estimated through the ratio of the heat flux to the temperature gradient by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations or experiments is only the apparent thermal conductivity (ATC); which is smaller than the intrinsic thermal conductivity (ITC). The existing experimental data of single-walled CNTs under the high-bias current flows are applied to study the non-Fourier heat conduction under the ultrahigh heat flux conditions. The results show that ITC and ATC are almost equal under the low heat flux conditions when the thermal inertia is negligible, while the difference between ITC and ATC becomes more notable as the heat flux increases or the temperature drops.

The model of non-Fourier heat conduction in a kind of two-phase mediums with great different heat conductivity is deduced by the idea and mathematics of dual phase lag. It is pointed out that the relaxation times to establish heat flux and temperature gradient include both kinds in this model: the relaxation time appeared under the conditions of applied high heat flux and rapid heating, the relaxation time introduced by the non-equilibrium heat exchange between the two-phase mediums. It is very important to distinguish the both kinds of relaxation times for analyzing and explaining the experimental phenomena of non-Fourier heat conduction in this kind of two-phase mediums.
