Abstract

Although the heat conduction problem in cooling Ž ns is usually consideredto haveone steady-statesolutionfor givenboundaryconditions, two solutions may exist when nonstandard, yet physically admissible, boundary conditions are applied. In particular, the situation inwhich the cooling Ž n has Ž xed temperatureat both ends and speciŽ ed heat  ux at the root is examined. The analysis shows that, depending on the value of the heat  ux at the Ž n root, the problem may have no solutions, one solution, or two solutions for the Ž n length. The results can Ž nd practical applications in the design of passive safety devices for chemical or nuclear plants.
