The document analyzes transient heat conduction in one-dimensional infinite and semi-infinite solids. It discusses the exact and approximate analytical solutions to the one-dimensional transient heat conduction equation for a plane wall, long cylinder and sphere. It presents the non-dimensionalization of the problem which reduces the number of independent variables from eight to three. It also discusses the analytical solutions for transient heat conduction in a semi-infinite solid under various boundary conditions like constant surface temperature and convection, involving error functions. Dimensionless temperature distributions and charts are presented.
