- Abstract
- In transient self-heating problems the spatial distribution of temperature in symmetrically heated bodies is usually assumed to be uniform and an effective surface transfer coefficient is defined so that the analysis can be simplified. This paper shows how this effective heat transfer coefficient can be simply related to the real surface cooling.
