The Temperature Within A Homogeneous Plate Of Finite Thickness, Charles R. Remington Jan 1950

The Temperature Within A Homogeneous Plate Of Finite Thickness, Charles R. Remington

Masters Theses

"The object of this thesis is to determine by an analytical method the temperature within a homogeneous plate of finite thickness subjected to a constant temperature on one side and a periodic fluctuating temperature, expressible in a Fourier series, on the opposite side. This problem in periodic temperature changes has not, to the author's knowledge, been solved previously. The flow of heat in the problem is considered in only one direction, the x-direction. Flow in the other two directions is considered negligible, or zero. Periodic temperature changes in the earth are of importance. The temperature changes have been used by …
