A Variational Calculation of Diffusive Flux in a Mixed Boundary Value Problem

A variational solution to the transient heat flow measure above a closed conductive region of arbitrary perimeter aspect, held at constant temperature, and which is embedded in an otherwise insulating boundary plane, is presented. Upon developing the general variational formulation, a full range sol...

description A variational solution to the transient heat flow measure above a closed conductive region of arbitrary perimeter aspect, held at constant temperature, and which is embedded in an otherwise insulating boundary plane, is presented. Upon developing the general variational formulation, a full range solution for the circular disk conductor is considered as an example when implementing a two term trial function that comprises a general form based on known physical solutions to the problem at long and short times. The particular combination of the Lagrange density for the total transient diffusive flux and of the form of the trial functions are evidently effective in dealing with the difficulties often experienced when dealing with mixed boundary value heat transfer problems of the parabolic type which have a non-periodic time variable.
