TRANSIENT ANALYSIS OF HEAT CONDUCTION THROUGH A SLAB BY INFINITE SERIES

Abstract

The exact solution to the problem of conduction of heat through a slab is developed. The solution, formulated in terms of an infinite series, allows arbitrary initial conditions and time-dependent boundary conditions. The solution is programmed in FORTRAN 4 for the IBM 7094 2 computer. Several check problems were solved and the results were compared with those obtained from a finite difference heat transfer program.
