RESULTS AND DISCUSSION<br />

4.1 HEAT FLUX FOR BOTH SLAB AND CYLINDER<br />

We have tried to analyze the <strong>heat</strong> <strong>conduction</strong> behavior for both Cartesian and cyl<strong>in</strong>drical<br />

geometry. Based on the previous <strong>analysis</strong> closed form solution for temperature, Biot number,<br />

<strong>heat</strong> source parameter, and time for both slab and tube has been obta<strong>in</strong>ed. Fig 4.1 shows the<br />

variation <strong>of</strong> temperature with time for various <strong>heat</strong> source parameters for a slab. This fig conta<strong>in</strong>s<br />

Biot number as constant. With higher value <strong>of</strong> <strong>heat</strong> source parameter, the temperature <strong>in</strong>side the<br />

slab does not vary with time. However for lower value <strong>of</strong> <strong>heat</strong> source parameter, the temperature<br />

decreases with the <strong>in</strong>crease <strong>of</strong> time.<br />
