Isothermal Sphere Buried in A Semi-/2 2 1 /4
Isothermal Sphere Buried in A Semi-/2 2 1 /4
dimensional conduction is presumed to occur between the boundaries that are maintained
at uniform temperatures, with 1 2 1 2. In case 9, three-dimensional conduction
exists in the corner region, while in case 10 conduction occurs between an isothermal disk
( 1 2) at locations well removed from
results of Table 3.3, it follows that for plane, cylindrical, and spherical walls, respectively,
the shape factors are / , 2 /ln( 2/ 1), and 4 1 2/( 2 1).
Cases 12 through 15 are associated with conduction from objects held at an isothermal
temperature ( 1 2)
