Abstract

This paper provides the analytical solution of three-dimensional steady-state heat conduction in solid and hollow cylinders of general anisotropic-media. By the use of Fourier transforms and a change of variables the partial differential equation is reduced to Kummer’s equation. Some calculated results for a solid cylinder are shown and discussed. A parameter γ is found to represent the coupling effect of three-dimensional anisotropy. For small values of γ, an approximate solution is recommended. The inequality σ > 0 which was found in an earlier paper is further discussed.
