CONCEPT OF THERMAL ENERGY FLOW IN THREE- DIMENSIONAL SOLIDS

Abstract: It has been observed that, hitherto only 1-dimensional and 2-dimensional heat flows in solids are treated, hence in this paper an attempt is made to present the analysis of heat flow in 3-dimensional solids. In this paper, we considered and solved the problems of heat flow in 1-dimensional and 2-dimensional solids. We are interested here in temperature distribution functions, while a lot of literature has been written on heat energy distribution function. Further we solved the problem of heat flow theoretically and computationally in a three-dimensional solid bar, we then identified the parameters upon which the heat flow depends with a view of achieving its controllability. The importance of this research work lies in its provision of some utility data when designing heat pipes for homes and industries. We had used the method of separation of variables for both 1-dimensional and 3-dimensional heat conductions, while we had used the Laplace transform of equations for the 2- dimensional heat flow.
