BIOT'S VARIATIONAL PRINCIPLE IN HEAT CONDUCTION

Abstract

The literature on Biot's variational principle for heat conduction and the thermodynamic foundations of the principle are reviewed. An additional example treats the heating of slabs exposed to time-dependent heat fluxes. A specific example of a triangular heat pulse is presented in detail.
