4.3 TRAINSIENT HEAT CONDUCTION IN SLAB WITH DIFFERENT<br />

PROFILES<br />

We have considered a variety <strong>of</strong> temperature pr<strong>of</strong>iles to see their effect on the solution. Based on<br />

the <strong>analysis</strong> a modified Biot number has been proposed, which is <strong>in</strong>dependent <strong>of</strong> geometry <strong>of</strong> the<br />

problem. Fig (4.9-4.10) shows the variety <strong>of</strong> temperature with time for <strong>different</strong> values <strong>of</strong><br />

modified Biot number, P. It is seen that, for higher values <strong>of</strong> P represent higher values <strong>of</strong> Biot<br />

number. Therefore the <strong>heat</strong> removed from the solid to surround<strong>in</strong>g is higher at higher Biot<br />

number. This leads to sudden change <strong>in</strong> temperature for higher value <strong>of</strong> P. This trend is observed<br />

<strong>in</strong> the present prediction and is shown <strong>in</strong> fig (4.9).<br />
