Fractional order heat conduction law in magneto-thermoelasticity involving two temperatures

A new mathematical model of two-temperature magneto-thermoelasticity is constructed where the fractional order heat conduction law is considered. The state space approach is adopted for the solution of one-dimensional application for a perfect conducting half-space of elastic material with heat sources distribution in the presence of a transverse magnetic field. The Laplace-transform technique is used. A numerical method is employed for the inversion of the Laplace transforms. According to the numerical results and its graphs, conclusions about the new theory are given. Some comparisons are shown in figures to estimate the effects of the temperature discrepancy and the fractional order parameter on all the studied fields.

Oscillatory convection and the Cattaneo law of heat conduction

The problem of thermal convection is investigated for a layer of fluid when the heat flux law of Cattaneo is adopted. The boundary conditions are those appropriate to two fixed surfaces. It is shown that for small Cattaneo number the critical Rayleigh number initially increases from its classical value of 1707.765 until a critical value of the Cattaneo number is reached. For Cattaneo numbers greater than this critical value a notable Hopf bifurcation is observed with convection occurring at lower Rayleigh numbers and by oscillatory rather than stationary convection. The aspect ratio of the convection cells likewise changes.     

Fractional order boundary value problem with integral boundary conditions involving Pettis integral

In this article, we investigate the existence of Pseudo solutions for some fractional order boundary value problem with integral boundary conditions in the Banach space of continuous function equipped with its weak topology. The class of such problems constitute a very interesting and important class of problems. They include two, three, multi-point and nonlocal boundary-value problems as special cases. In our investigation, the right hand side of the above problem is assumed to be Pettis integrable function. To encompass the full scope of this article, we give an example illustrating the main result.     

Hyperbolic heat conduction in two semi-infinite bodies in contact

We find, under the viewpoint of the hyperbolic model of heat conduction, the exact analytical solution for the temperature distribution in all points of two semi-infinite homogeneous isotropic bodies that initially are at uniform temperatures T ₀ ¹ and T ₀ ² , respectively, suddenly placed together at time t = 0 and assuming that the contact between the bodies is perfect. We make graphics of the obtained temperature profiles of two bodies at different times and points. And finally, we compare the temperature solution obtained from hyperbolic model to the parabolic or classical solution, for the same problem of heat conduction.This work was partially supported by MEC and FEDER, project MTM-2004-02262 and AVCIT group 03/050.This revised version was published online in April 2005 with a corrected issue number.     

Numerical analysis of a dual-phase-lag model involving two temperatures

In this paper, we numerically analyse a phase-lag model with two temperatures which arises in the heat conduction theory. The model is written as a linear partial differential equation of third order in time. The variational formulation, written in terms of the thermal acceleration, leads to a linear variational equation, for which we recall an existence and uniqueness result and an energy decay property. Then, using the finite element method to approximate the spatial variable and the implicit Euler scheme to discretize the time derivatives, fully discrete approximations are introduced. A discrete stability property is proved, and a priori error estimates are obtained, from which the linear convergence of the approximation is derived. Finally, some one-dimensional numerical simulations are described to demonstrate the accuracy of the approximation and the behaviour of the solution.     

Spatial behavior for solutions in heat conduction with two delays

In this note, we investigate the spatial behavior of the solutions of the equation proposed to describe a theory for the heat conduction with two delay terms. We obtain an alternative of the Phragmén-Lindelöf type, which means that the solutions either decay or blow-up at infinity, both options in an exponential way. We also describe how to obtain an upper bound for the amplitude term. This is the first contribution on spatial behavior for partial differential equations involving two delay terms. We use energy arguments. The main point of the contribution is the use of an exponentially weighted energy function.     

Inverse modeling of a solar collector involving Fourier and non-Fourier heat conduction

This article applies the golden section search method (GSSM), simplex search method (SSM) and differential evolution (DE) for predicting the unknown Fourier number (Fo), Vernotte number (Ve) and non-dimensional solar heat flux (S¹) in a flat-plate solar collector when subjected to a given temperature requirement. The required temperature field is calculated using an analytical forward method by considering Fourier and non-Fourier heat conduction, and using this, the inverse problem is solved to predict the Fo, Ve and S¹ which are assumed to be the unknown parameters. The study reveals that the temperature field is highly sensitive to the Fo, thus even a small error in the temperature measurement can result in an unrealistic estimation of heating time of the collector. The present study is proposed to be useful in determining the time, the time lag and solar heat flux for controlled heating of an absorber plate within a stipulated time, which will be required to attain a prescribed/desired temperature distribution. Additionally, the study also shows that subjected to different time levels, the same temperature distribution is possible through different absorber plate materials. It has been observed from the present study that apart from SSM and DE, GSSM fails to estimate the unknown parameters at large value of Ve and small value of Fo, due to the associated fluctuation in the measured temperature field. The present study further discusses the computational performance of direct search method (e.g. GSSM and SSM) with that of the evolutionary method (DE) in terms of the maximum number of iteration and CPU time required to achieve the desired objective.     

Fractional dimensions in semifields of odd order

A finite semifield D is considered a fractional dimensional semifield if it contains a subsemifield E such that λ := log_|E||D| is not an integer. We develop spread-theoretic tools to determine when finite planes admit coordinatization by fractional semifields, and to find such semifields when they exist. We use our results to show that such semifields exist for prime powers 3 ⁿ whenever n is an odd integer divisible by 5 or 7.     

Fourth‐order compact schemes of a heat conduction problem with Neumann boundary conditions

In this article, a set of fourth‐order compact finite difference schemes is developed to solve a heat conduction problem with Neumann boundary conditions. It is derived through the compact difference schemes at all interior points, and the combined compact difference schemes at the boundary points. This set of schemes is proved to be globally solvable and unconditionally stable. Numerical examples are provided to verify the accuracy.© 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Shape-preserving signal forms in heat conduction

Let us consider the heat conduction problem described by a parabolic equation. We study under which conditions is the time-dependence on the boundary preserved inside the solid. The question is how information entering on the boundary penetrates the solid. E.g. consider a heat conducting solid subject to sinusoidally varying boundary condition. After decay of the transients, the temperature at any inner point varies in time sinusoidally with the same circular frequency, with space dependent amplitude and phase delay. So, sinusoidal signals inserted on the boundary are preserved. Information is also preserved in case of linear signals. Farkas and Mudri [H. Farkas, I. Mudri, Shape-preserving time-dependences in heat conduction, Acta Phys. Hung. 55 (1984) 267–273] have formulated this phenomenon, defined the notion of the boundary following solution and the shape-preserving signal forms, determined necessary and heuristic sufficient conditions for the shape-preserving signal forms.

Their work is extended by rigorous proofs of some sufficient conditions in this paper, and the minimum of the phase delay, expected to be attained on the boundary for physical reasons, is examined.     

End effects in three-phase-lag heat conduction

In this article we study the spatial behaviour of solutions for the three-phase-lag heat equation on a semi-infinite cylinder. First, we investigate the spatial evolution of solutions of an initial boundary-value problem with zero boundary conditions on the lateral surface of the cylinder. Under null initial data, a Phragmen–Lindelof alternative is obtained. An upper bound for the amplitude term in terms of the boundary data is also established. For the case of decay solutions, an improvement is obtained. We prove that the decay can be controlled by the exponential of a second-degree polynomial in the distance from the finite end of the cylinder. A class of non-standard problems is also considered for which the temperature and its first two time derivatives at a fixed time T ₀ are assumed proportional to their initial values. These results are relevant in the context of the Saint-Venant Principle for heat conduction problems.     

Reconstruction of spatial heat sources in heat conduction problems

In this short article, we consider the problem of recovering unknown spatial heat sources in heat equations. Applying Tikhonov's regularization approach, we define and obtain stable solutions to approximate the unknown sources from overspecified non-smooth data. We will also conduct numerical computations to demonstrate the applicability of our approximation.     

The nonlinear optimization problem in heat conduction

In this paper we study the existence and geometric properties of an optimal configuration to a nonlinear optimization problem in heat conduction. The quantity to be minimized is , where D is a fixed domain. A nonconstant temperature distribution is prescribed on and a volume constraint on the set where the temperature is positive is imposed. Among other regularity properties of an optimal configuration, we prove analyticity of the free boundary.Received: 6 October 2004, Accepted: 19 October 2004, Published online: 22 December 2004     

Some nonstandard problems in generalized heat conduction

The Maxwell-Cattaneo system of equations for generalized heat conduction is considered where the temperature and heat flux, respectively, are subject to auxiliary conditions which prescribe a combination of their values initially and at a later time. By means of differential inequalities, L₂ exponential decay bounds for the temperature and heat flux are determined in terms of data for a range of values of the parameter in the nonstandard auxiliary condition. Decay bounds are also obtained in two related problems. Received: July 14, 2003     

The Stefan problem in nonlinear heat conduction

Summary An exact parametric solution for the planar solidification of a liquid metal occupying the infinite half-space is presented. The metal is assumed to exhibit nonlinear thermal characteristics of the Storm type. Both the idealized one phase and the full two phase problems are considered. For both problems an approximate analysis of the underlying coupled transcendental equations is presented which provides initial estimates for use in a numerical scheme. Typical numerical results are given which illustrate the monotonic nature of the solution.
