Abstract

 In the present paper, an exact analytic approach is obtained for solving inverse problems of steady, two-dimensional, heat conduction in a composite, plane or cylindrical media, by developing analytic methods of solving inverse problems for single-wall geometric shapes : plane wall and hollow cylinder. The present method is further extended to treat the problem if the composite media involves internal heat generation. Solved examples are presented to demonstrate application of the proposed method as well prove its validity.
