Analysis and Computer Program for Temperature Distribution in a Hollow Cylindrical Ceramic Transducer Element.
Abstract
The problem of temperature distribution in a hollow cylindrical ceramic element in a sonar transducer under operating conditions is analyzed using the appropriate Green's function. The boundary conditions are taken to be (1) prescribed temperatures over the axial ends and (2) Newton's law of cooling satisfied over the inside and outside radial surfaces. Equilibrium conditions are presented for determining a compatible temperature for the trapped interior gas if the temperatures of the axial ends and the exterior gas are known. Computer Program S1656 provides a convenient means of calculating the temperature distribution in such ceramic cylinders. (Author)
