On one method for solving transient heat conduction problems with asymmetric boundary conditions

Abstract

Using additional boundary conditions and additional required function in integral method of heat-transfer we obtain approximate analytical solution of transient heat conduction problem for an infinite plate with asymmetric boundary conditions of the first kind. This solution has a simple form of trigonometric polynomial with coefficients exponentially stabilizing in time. With the increase in the count of terms of a polynomial the obtained solution is approaching the exact solution. The introduction of a time-dependent additional required function, setting in the one (point) of the boundary points, allows to reduce solving of differential equation in partial derivatives to integration of ordinary differential equation. The additional boundary conditions are found in the form that the required solution would implement the additional boundary conditions and that implementation would be equivalent to executing the original differential equation in boundary points. In this article it is noted that the execution of the original equation at the boundaries of the area only (via the implementation of the additional boundary conditions) leads to the execution of the original equation also inside that area. The absence of direct integration of the original equation on the spatial variable allows to apply this method to solving the nonlinear boundary value problems with variable initial conditions and variable physical properties of the environment, etc
