ANALITYCAL SOLUTION OF THE ONE DIMENSIONAL NONLINEAR TRANSIENT HEAT CONDUCTION PROBLEM USING GREEN’S FUNCTIONS

Abstract

Analytical solutions showed to be an important and strong tool for understand thermal problems using mathematic tools. In this work we propose an approach about one dimensional analytical solution for a nonlinear transient heat conduction problem, were used mathematical elements such as Kirchhoff transformation, Green’s functions and the combination of them.  The combination of this two methods showed that was possible to determinate an analytical solution for the nonlinear thermal problem, and showed a good approximation when compared with results from numerical methods.
