Abstract
A numerical evaluation of the temperature field in an infinite solid medium that surrounds a cylindrical surface is presented. An unsteady and uniform heat flux density is prescribed at the cylindrical surface, and Cattaneo-Vernotte's constitutive equation for the heat flux density is supposed to hold. The hyperbolic differential problem is solved by MacCormack's predictor-corrector method by assuming that both the thermal conductivity and the specific heat are temperature-dependent. Then, the results of the numerical evaluation are compared with the analytical solution that is available in the literature for the special case of constant thermophysical properties.
