4-1 Intrductin ransient Cnductin Many heat transfer prblems are time dependent Changes in perating cnditins in a system cause temperature variatin with time, as well as lcatin within a slid, until a new steady state (thermal equilibrium) is btained. In this chapter we will develp prcedures fr determining the time dependence f the temperature distributin Real prblems may include finite and semi-infinite slids, r cmplex gemetries, as well as tw and three dimensinal cnductin Slutin techniques invlve the lumped capacitance methd, exact and apprximate slutins, and finite difference methds. We will fcus n the Lumped Capacitance Methd, which can be used fr slids within which temperature gradients are negligible. Chapter 5 Steady State Cnductin Chee 318 2

Lumped Capacitance Methd If the thermal cnductivity f the slid is very high, resistance t cnductin within the slid will be small cmpared t resistance t heat transfer between slid and surrundings. emperature gradients within the slid will be negligible, i.e.. the temperature f the slid is spatially unifrm at any instant.
