APPROXIMATE HEAT CONDUCTION SOLUTIONS FOR NONPLANAR GEOMETRIES,
Abstract
The temperature distribution in the region exterior to a spherical cavity whose surface temperature is constant is determined using Biot's variational principle for heat conduction and Goodman's heat balance integral technique. The procedure for applying the variational principle to problems of non-planar geometries is discussed. The heat flux at the surface of the cavity is evaluated by the two methods and compared with the exact solution. This paper complements a previous paper in that the applicability of the two above mentioned approximate techniques to heat conduction problems with non-planar geometries is treated. (Author)
