Abstract Using a known solution of the potential equation for heat conduction it is possible to determine boundaries which fulfill the boundary conditions. This idea was applied to the heat flow with parallel streamlines, from a line source and from a point source. From the parallel flow, fins have been derived on a plane surface having circular arc flanks. From the line source, fins axially and radially on a cylindrical surface and from a point source fins on a sphere are obtained. The improvement of the heat transfer has been found in these examples to depend only on the surface direction at the base of the fins.

A one-dimensional, nonlinear inverse heat conduction problem with surface ablation is considered. In-depth temperature measurements are used to restore the heat flux and the surface recession history. The presented method elaborates a whole domain, parameter estimation approach with the heat flux approximated by Fourier series. Two versions of the method are proposed: with a constant order and with a variable order of the Fourier series. The surface recession is found by a direct heat transfer solution under the estimated heat flux.

AbstractSome new conservation laws for the transient heat conduction problem for heat transfer in a straight fin are constructed. The thermal conductivity is given by a power law in one case and by a linear function of temperature in the other. Conservation laws are derived using the direct method when thermal conductivity is given by the power law and the multiplier method when thermal conductivity is given as a linear function of temperature. The heat transfer coefficient is assumed to be given by the power law function of temperature. Furthermore, we determine the Lie point symmetries associated with the conserved vectors for the model with power law thermal conductivity.

The entropy production in 2-D heat transfer system has been analyzed systematically by using the finite volume method, to develop new criteria for the numerical simulation in case of multidimensional systems, with the aid of the CFD codes. The steady-state heat conduction problem has been investigated for entropy production, and the entropy production profile has been calculated based upon the current approach. From results for 2-D heat conduction, it can be found that the stability of entropy production profile exhibits a better agreement with the exact solution accordingly, and the current approach is effective for measuring the accuracy and stability of numerical simulations for heat transfer problems.
