The separation of variables (SOV) can be used for all Fourier, single-phase lag (SPL), and dual-phase lag (DPL) heat conduction problems with time-independent source and/or boundary conditions (BCs). The Laplace transform (LT) can be used for problems with time-dependent BCs and sources but requires large computational time for inverse LT. In this work, the orthogonal eigenfunction expansion (OEEM) has been proposed as an alternate method for non-Fourier (SPL and DPL) heat conduction problem. However, the OEEM is applicable only for cases where BCs are homogeneous. Therefore, BCs of the original problem are homogenized by subtracting an auxiliary function from the temperature to get a modified problem in terms of a modified temperature. It is shown that the auxiliary function has to satisfy a set of conditions. However, these conditions do not lead to a unique auxiliary function. Therefore, an additional condition, which simplifies the modified problem, is proposed to evaluate the auxiliary function. The methodology is verified with SOV for time-independent BCs. The implementation of the methodology is demonstrated with illustrative example, which shows that this approach leads to an accurate solution with reasonable number of terms in the expansion.

Finite integral transform techniques are applied to solve the one-dimensional (1D) dual-phase heat conduction problem, and a comprehensive analysis is provided for general time-dependent heat generation and arbitrary combinations of various boundary conditions (Dirichlet, Neumann, and Robin). Through the dependence on the relative differences in heat flux and temperature relaxation times, this analytical solution effectively models both parabolic and hyperbolic heat conduction. In order to demonstrate several exemplary physical phenomena, four distinct cases that illustrate the wavelike heat conduction behavior are presented. In the first model, following an initial temperature spike in a slab, the thermal evolution portrays immediate dissipation in parabolic systems, whereas the dual-phase solution depicts wavelike temperature propagation—the intensity of which depends on the relaxation times. Next, the analysis of periodic surface heat flux at the slab boundaries provides evidence of interference patterns formed by temperature waves. In following, the study of Joule heating driven periodic generation inside the slab demonstrates that the steady-periodic parabolic temperature response depends on the ratio of pulsatile electrical excitation and the electrical resistivity of the slab. As for the dual-phase model, thermal resonance conditions are observed at distinct excitation frequencies. Building on findings of the other models, the case of moving constant-amplitude heat generation is considered, and the occurrences of thermal shock and thermal expansion waves are demonstrated at particular conditions.

The Laplace transform (LT) is a widely used methodology for analytical solutions of dual phase lag (DPL) heat conduction problems with consistent DPL boundary conditions (BCs). However, the inversion of LT requires a series summation with large number of terms for reasonably converged solution, thereby, increasing computational cost. In this work, an alternative approach is proposed for this inversion which is valid only for time-periodic BCs. In this approach, an approximate convolution integral is used to get an analytical closed-form solution for sinusoidal BCs (which is obviously free of numerical inversion or series summation). The ease of implementation and simplicity of the proposed alternative LT approach is demonstrated through illustrative examples for different kind of sinusoidal BCs. It is noted that the solution has very small error only during the very short initial transient and is (almost) exact for longer time. Moreover, it is seen from the illustrative examples that for high frequency periodic BCs the Fourier and DPL model give quite different results; however, for low frequency BCs the results are almost identical. For nonsinusoidal periodic function as BCs, Fourier series expansion of the function in time can be obtained and then present approach can be used for each term of the series. An illustrative example with a triangular periodic wave as one of the BC is solved and the error with different number of terms in the expansion is shown. It is observed that quite accurate solutions can be obtained with a fewer number of terms.

In the present work, the dual phase lag heat conduction in functionally graded hollow spheres is investigated under spherically symmetric and axisymmetric thermal loading. The heat conduction equation is given based on the dual phase lag theory to consider the details of energy transport in the material in comparison with the non-Fourier hyperbolic heat conduction. All the material properties of the sphere are taken to vary continuously along the radial direction following a power-law with arbitrary non-homogeneity indices except the phase lags which are assumed to be constant for simplicity. The specified spherically symmetric and axisymmetric boundary conditions of the sphere lead to a 1D and 2D heat conduction problem, respectively. Employing the Laplace transform to eliminate the time dependency of the problem, analytical solutions are obtained for the temperature and heat flux. The final results in the time domain are obtained by a numerical Laplace inversion method. The speed of thermal wave in the functionally graded sphere based on the dual phase lag is compared with that of the hyperbolic heat conduction. Furthermore, the numerical results are shown to clarify the effects of phase lags and non-homogeneity indices on the thermal response. The current results are verified with those reported in the literature.
