This note is not meant to be
a comprehensive presentation of the subject of heat conduction, and the student
is referred to the texts referenced below for such treatments. A goal of mine,
in preparing the notes, has been to address an apparent shortcoming in many of
the current texts, in that the texts present the mathematical formulation and
analytical solution to a wide variety of conduction problems, yet they spend
little if any time on discussing how numerical and graphical results can be
obtained from the solutions.
Practically
all the operations that are carried out by the chemical engineers involve the
production or absorption of energy in the form of heat. The study of temperature
distribution and heat transfer is of great importance to engineers because of
its almost universal occurrence in many branches of science and engineering.
