Abstract. This paper concerns the heat conduction problem in a circular thin plate sub-
jected to the activity of a heat source which changes its place on the plate surface with time.
The heat source moves along an circular trajectory round centre of the plate with constant
angular velocity. The solution of the problem is obtained in an analytical form by using the
Greens function method.
Introduction
The solutions of heat conduction problems in circular plates with moving heat
sources are presented in papers [1-3]. An analytical approach to multi-dimensional
heat conduction in composite circular cylinder subjected to generally time-
dependent temperature changes has been presented in paper [1]. Boundary tem-
peratures were approximated as Fourier series. The Laplace transform was adopted
in deducing the solution of the problem. In paper [2] authors develop an integral
transform determineing temperature distribution in a thin circular plate. The plate
is subjected to a partially distributed and axisymmetric heat supply. Authors find
the temperature field analytically by using the finite Fourier and the finite Hankel
transforms. An inverse problem of axially symmetric transient temperature and
deflection of a circular plate is solved in paper [3]. A heat flux is assumed on an
internal cylindrical surface of the plate. The solution of the problem was obtained
by applying the Fourier cosine and the Laplace transforms. A solution to the prob-
lem of heat conduction in a rectangular plate subjected to the activity of a moving
heat source is presented in paper [4]. The heat source moves along an elliptical
trajectory on the plate surface. An exact solution to the problem in an analytical
form is obtained by applying the Greens function method.
This paper presents an analytical solution to the heat conduction problem in
a circular thin plate which is heated by a moving heat source. The temperature of
the plate changes because the heat source moves along circular trajectory on the
plate surface. A solution of the heat conduction problem in an analytical form is
obtained by using the Greens function method.

1. Problem formulation
Consider a circular thin plate of thickness h and radius r = b. This plate is sub-
jected to the activity of a moving heat source. The heat source moves on the plate
surface along a circular trajectory at radius r0 round centre of the plate with con-
stant angular velocity. The temperature distribution T (r , , z , t ) of the plate is de-
scribed by the differential equation of heat conduction [5]:

g (r , , z , t ) = (r r0 ) ( (t )) ( z h) (2)
where characterises the stream of the heat, ( ) is the Dirac delta function, r0 is
the radius of the circular trajectory along which the heat source moves, (t) is the
function describing the movement of the heat source
(t ) = t (3)
where 0 is the heat transfer coefficient, T0 is the known temperature of the sur-
rounding medium.
Temperature distribution in a circular plate heated by a moving heat source 73
The solution of the problem in an analytical form is obtained by using the prop-
erties of the Greens function (GF). The GF of the heat conduction problem de-
scribes the temperature distribution induced by the temporary, local energy im-
pulse. The function is a solution to the following differential equation [5]:
2 G 1 G 1 2 G 2 G 1 G (r ) ( ' ) ( z ) (t )

The Greens function satisfies the initial and homogeneous boundary condi-
tions analogous to the conditions (4)-(7).
The GF for the considered heat conduction problem may be written in the form
of a series:
G (r , , z , t ) = g (r, z, t )cos m( ')

where mk are separate constants. Moreover, the following conditions are satisfied
where J() denotes the Bessel function of the first kind of order . Using the first
condition (24), C2 = 0 was received. Therefore the solution of Eq. (25) is
Rmk (r ) = C1 J m ( mk r ) (26)
Substituting the functions R mk (r ) into the second condition (24) one obtains
b mk J m 1 (b mk ) (m + b 0 )J m (b mk ) = 0 (27)
The equation (27) is then solved numerically with respect to the unknown mk .
Note that the functions Rmk (r ) satisfy the orthogonality conditions:
b
r J m ( mk r ) J m ( mk' r ) dr = 0 for k ' k (28)

r J m ( mk r ) dr = J m ( mk b ) J m+1 ( mk b ) for k = 1, 2, ...

Hence, taking into account (26) in Eq. (22), the function mn (r , t ) is obtained in
the form
mn (r , t ) = J m ( mk r )Tm nk (t ) (30)

mk J m ( mk )

After evaluation of the integrals in the space domain and using Eq. (2) one obtains

a series expansion [4] or numerically.
