Chapter 4 discusses transient heat conduction principles, focusing on lumped system analysis and applicable criteria, analytical solutions for one-dimensional conduction in various geometries, and the concept of semi-infinite solids. The chapter highlights the mathematical representation of heat conduction, including the use of Fourier numbers and error functions, and explores multi-dimensional transient conduction through superposition methods. Key applications include the behavior of temperature profiles in large and semi-infinite bodies and the interaction of two differing solids at contact.

- 2. 2 Objectives • Assess when the spatial variation of temperature is negligible, and temperature varies nearly uniformly with time, making the simplified lumped system analysis applicable • Obtain analytical solutions for transient one-dimensional conduction problems in rectangular, cylindrical, and spherical geometries using the method of separation of variables, and understand why a one-term solution is usually a reasonable approximation • Solve the transient conduction problem in large mediums using the similarity variable, and predict the variation of temperature with time and distance from the exposed surface • Construct solutions for multi-dimensional transient conduction problems using the product solution approach
- 3. 3 LUMPED SYSTEM ANALYSIS Interior temperature of some bodies remains essentially uniform at all times during a heat transfer process. The temperature of such bodies can be taken to be a function of time only, T(t). Heat transfer analysis that utilizes this idealization is known as lumped system analysis. A small copper ball can be modeled as a lumped system, but a roast beef cannot.

- 5. 5 The temperature of a lumped system approaches the environment temperature as time gets larger. • This equation enables us to determine the temperature T(t) of a body at time t, or alternatively, the time t required for the temperature to reach a specified value T(t). • The temperature of a body approaches the ambient temperature T∞ exponentially. • The temperature of the body changes rapidly at the beginning, but rather slowly later on. A large value of b indicates that the body approaches the environment temperature in a short time

Analogy between heat transfer to a solid and passenger traffic to an island. When the convection coefficient h is high and k is low, large temperature differences occur between the inner and outer regions of a large solid.

Fourier number at time t can be viewed as the ratio of the rate of heat conducted to the rate of heat stored at that time. The physical significance of the Fourier number

Semi-infinite solid: An idealized body that has a single plane surface and extends to infinity in all directions. The earth can be considered to be a semi-infinite medium in determining the variation of temperature near its surface. A thick wall can be modeled as a semi-infinite medium if all we are interested in is the variation of temperature in the region near one of the surfaces, and the other surface is too far to have any impact on the region of interest during the time of observation. For short periods of time, most bodies can be modeled as semi-infinite solids since heat does not have sufficient time to penetrate deep into the body.

- 32. 32 Contact of Two Semi-Infinite Solids When two large bodies A and B, initially at uniform temperatures TA,i and TB,i are brought into contact, they instantly achieve temperature equality at the contact surface. If the two bodies are of the same material, the contact surface temperature is the arithmetic average, Ts = (TA,i+TB,i)/2. If the bodies are of different materials, the surface temperature Ts will be different than the arithmetic average. Contact of two semi-infinite solids of different initial temperatures. The interface temperature of two bodies brought into contact is dominated by the body with the larger kρcp. EXAMPLE: When a person with a skin temperature of 35°C touches an aluminum block and then a wood block both at 15°C, the contact surface temperature will be 15.9°C in the case of aluminum and 30°C in the case of wood.
- 33. 33 TRANSIENT HEAT CONDUCTION IN MULTIDIMENSIONAL SYSTEMS • Using a superposition approach called the product solution, the transient temperature charts and solutions can be used to construct solutions for the two- dimensional and three-dimensional transient heat conduction problems encountered in geometries such as a short cylinder, a long rectangular bar, a rectangular prism or a semi-infinite rectangular bar, provided that all surfaces of the solid are subjected to convection to the same fluid at temperature T∞, with the same heat transfer coefficient h, and the body involves no heat generation. • The solution in such multidimensional geometries can be expressed as the product of the solutions for the one-dimensional geometries whose intersection is the multidimensional geometry. The temperature in a short cylinder exposed to convection from all surfaces varies in both the radial and axial directions, and thus heat is transferred in both directions.

The solution for the two-dimensional short cylinder of height a and radius ro is equal to the product of the nondimensionalized solutions for the one-dimensional plane wall of thickness a and the long cylinder of radius ro.
