Temperature distribution in a composite prismatic rod in the case of heat generation in the circular, cylindrical concentric core.

Abstract

An approximate, analytical approach based on the conformal mapping technique is developed in the present paper. The results are in good agreement with values obtained by means of the finite element method. It is important to point out that configuration such as that shown in Fig. 1 and whose thermal behavior is governed by equations (l)-(3) are of basic importance in several fields of applied sciences: biomedicine, nuclear and chemical engineering, etc.
