Inverse Heat Conduction: Ill-Posed Problems (2nd Edition) – eBook

Inverse Heat Conduction, 2nd Edition

A comprehensive reference on inverse heat conduction problems (IHCPs), now includes advanced topics, numerous practical examples, and downloadable MATLAB codes.

The First Edition of the classic ebook Inverse Heat Conduction: III-Posed Problems, published in 1985, has been used as one of the primary references for researchers and professionals working on IHCPs due to its comprehensive scope and dedication to the topic. The ebook’s Second Edition is a primarily revised version of the First Edition with several all-new chapters and significant enhancement of the previous material. Over the past 30 years, the authors of this 2nd Edition have collaborated on research projects that form the basis for this book, which can serve as a practical textbook for graduate students and as a reliable reference book for professionals. Examples and problems throughout the textbook reinforce concepts presented.

The Second Edition continues emphasis from the First Edition on linear heat conduction problems with revised presentation of Stolz, Function Specification, and Tikhonov Regularization methods. It expands coverage to include Conjugate Gradient Methods and the Singular Value Decomposition method. The Filter Matrix concept is explained and embraced throughout the presentation, allowing any solution techniques to be represented in a simple, explicit linear form. Two direct approaches suitable for non-linear problems, the Adjoint Method and Kalman Filtering, are presented, as well as an adaptation of the Filter Matrix approach applicable to non-linear heat conduction problems.

In the Inverse Heat Conduction: III-Posed Problems, 2E, readers will find:

• A comprehensive literature review of IHCP applications in various fields of engineering
• Methods and criteria for selection of the optimal degree of regularization in a solution of IHCPs
• Bias in temperature measurements in the IHCP and correcting for temperature measurement bias
• Estimating the heat transfer coefficient, h, for lumped capacitance body and bodies with temperature gradients
• IHCP solution methods and comparison of many of these approaches through a common suite of test problems
• Application of the filter concept for solving two-dimensional transient IHCP problems with multiple unknown heat fluxes
• Filter matrix form of IHCP solution methods and discussion of using filter-form Tikhonov regularization for solving complex IHCPs in multi-layer domain with temperature-dependent material properties
• Exact solutions to several fundamental problems for direct heat conduction problems, the concept of the computational analytical solution, and approximate solution methods for discrete time steps using superposition of exact solutions which form the basis for the IHCP solutions in the textbook

Inverse Heat Conduction is a must-have resource on the topic for mechanical, aerospace, chemical, biomedical, or metallurgical engineers who are active in the design and analysis of thermal systems within the fields of manufacturing, aerospace, medical, defense, and instrumentation, as well as researchers in the areas of thermal science and computational heat transfer.
