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

Inverse Heat Conduction, 2nd Edition

This book is a comprehensive reference on inverse heat conduction problems (IHCPs) and now includes advanced topics, practical examples, and downloadable MATLAB codes.

The first edition of the ebook, titled Inverse Heat Conduction: Ill-Posed Problems, was published in 1985 and has been widely used as a primary reference for researchers and professionals working on IHCPs. The second edition is a revised version with new chapters and enhancements. The authors, who have collaborated on research projects for the past 30 years, have created a practical textbook for graduate students and a reliable reference book for professionals. The textbook provides examples and problems to reinforce concepts presented.

The second edition continues to focus on linear heat conduction problems and includes revised presentations of Stolz, Function Specification, and Tikhonov Regularization methods. It also expands coverage to include Conjugate Gradient Methods and the Singular Value Decomposition method. The Filter Matrix concept is explained throughout the presentation, allowing any solution techniques to be represented in a simple, explicit linear form. The book also presents two direct approaches suitable for non-linear problems, the Adjoint Method and Kalman Filtering, as well as an adaptation of the Filter Matrix approach for non-linear heat conduction problems.

In the second edition of Inverse Heat Conduction: Ill-Posed Problems, readers will find:

• A comprehensive literature review of IHCP applications in various fields of engineering
• Methods and criteria for selecting the optimal degree of regularization in solving IHCPs
• Information on temperature measurement bias and how to correct it
• Techniques for estimating the heat transfer coefficient, h, for different types of bodies
• Comparison of various IHCP solution methods through a common set of test problems
• Application of the filter concept to solve two-dimensional transient IHCP problems
• Discussion of the filter matrix form of IHCP solution methods and the use of filter-form Tikhonov regularization for complex IHCPs
• Exact solutions and approximate solution methods for direct heat conduction problems

This book is a valuable resource for engineers and researchers working on thermal systems in manufacturing, aerospace, medical, defense, and instrumentation. It is also useful for those in the fields of thermal science and computational heat transfer.
