5.3. UNSTEADY-STATE HEAT CONDUCTION IN VARIOUS GEOMETRIES
5.3A. Introduction and Analytical Methods
In Section 5.2 we considered a simplified case of negligible internal resistance where the object has a very high thermal conductivity. Now we will consider the more general situation where the internal resistance is not small, and hence the temperature is not constant in the solid. The first case that we shall consider is one where the surface convective resistance is negligible compared to the internal resistance. This could occur because of a very large heat-transfer coefficient at the surface or because of a relatively large conductive resistance in the object.
To illustrate an analytical method of solving this first case, we will derive the ...
