This section introduces conduction shape factors for geometries that are not simple walls or cylinders. Sample Problem Formats and Methods 1. Plane Wall Thermal Resistance
: Determine heat transfer rate through a wall with inner convection h₁ , outer convection h₂ , and two material layers.
Integrating twice yields T = c₁x + c₂ . Using boundary conditions ( T(0)=T₁ and T(L)=T₂ ) gives the linear relationship: Integrating twice yields T = c₁x + c₂
These involve nuclear fuel rods, electrical wires, or exothermic chemical reactions. The governing equation changes from Laplace to Poisson.
