Transient Heat Transfer Solution Using Improved Lumped Model

Abstract:

In present study, transient state one-dimensional heat conduction is analyzed using polynomial approximation method. In comparison with the classical lumped model, an improved lumped model have been employed as the classical lumped model is applicable for biot number of less than 0.1 and it cannot be used for high temperature gradient. An improved lumped model has been employed for sphere to calculate average temperature as a function of time for higher and lower values of biot number. The study shows that the lumped model provides better accuracy as compared to finite difference model.
