This paper aims to present a review of the current computational methods and applications
of inverse heat conduction problems (IHCPs) in different fields. Generally speaking, there …

Tikhonov regularization for the inverse heat conduction problem (IHCP) is considered a
“whole domain” or “batch” method, meaning that observations are needed over the entire …

The sequential function specification method (SFSM) for solution of the inverse heat
conduction problem was introduced by Beck (1968)[1], and described in more detail [2] in …

This study presents a thermal analysis using a self-developed capacitor discharge welding
equipment. The addressed process involves a rapid welding of the hot junction of a K-type …

This paper aims to estimate a location-and time-dependent high-magnitude heat flux in a
heat conduction problem. The heat flux is applied on a small region of a surface of a flat …

We consider a steady state heat conduction problem in a thin plate. In the application, it is
used to connect two cylindrical containers and fix their relative positions. At the same time it …

In this article the inverse heat conduction problem and the inverse Stefan problem with the
third kind of boundary condition are solved by applying the immune algorithm. This method …

Thermocouples are widely employed as the temperature measuring element for an aero-
engine. However, due to the unique characteristics of the aero-engine test environment …

Slab surface radiative emissivities severely affect the radiative heat transfer in a reheating
furnace, as well as the slabs' coupled conduction, convection, and radiation. Accurate …

In many industrial applications, such as in the steel industry, it is important to monitor the
surface temperature, and also heating or cooling rates, during an industrial process …
