TEMPERATURE DISTRIBUTION OF AN INFINITE SLAB UNDER POINT HEAT SOURCE

Abstract

The temperature field in an infinite slab under an instantaneous or continuous point heat source is studied numerically. The numerical results reveal the temperature distribution and its change regularity, which are significant for the temperature control encountered in many practical manufacturing processes, such as the laser treatment processes on the surface of films, welding and cutting, and even the design of measuring devices for thermal properties of material.
