- Abstract
- The one dimensional time dependent equation of heat conduction is solved for an infinite three layer slab. The conventional Laplace transform technique is not employed, but rather the method of separation of variables is applied with a novel eigenfunction expansion of the initial temperature distribution. Boundary conditions considered are constant flux on one side of the slab and zero flux on the other.
