The paper treats the redistribution of heat between a sphere and an infinite medium of different thermal properties and different initial temperature. The problem is relevant to two geophysical questions: the cooling of laccoliths, and the psychrometry of the growth and evaporation of droplets and ice crystals.

The transient heat conduction from two parallel isothermal cylinders is studied using the naturally fit bipolar cylindrical coordinates system. The energy equation is expanded in a Fourier series using appropriate basis functions to eliminate one of the physical coordinates. The resulting modes of the expansion are solved using a finite difference scheme. It is shown that, as is the case with a single isothermal cylinder in an infinite medium, steady states for two isothermal cylinders are not possible and heat transfer changes indefinitely with time.

This paper presents a theoretical solution for transient heat conduction in a rod of finite length with variable thermal properties. A numerical procedure is developed and the results of one example are presented and compared with the corresponding solution for the case of constant properties. Application to the problem of determination of thermophysical properties is discussed briefly.

In 1945, N. W. McLachlan published the equations governing the problem of heat conduction in a long elliptical cylinder, including the solution for the case of a cylinder with a uniform initial temperature, subject to a sudden temperature change at the outer surface of the cylinder. This paper describes the numerical evaluation of McLachlan’s solution by the use of a digital computer and includes a table of the necessary zeros of the modified Mathieu functions. Tables of the temperatures in cylinders with eccentricities of 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, and 0.9 are given.
