17. Heat Transfer in A Semi-Infinite Stainless-Steel When Applying Constant Heat Flux On X = 0 Surface Available to Purchase

We will investigate in this chapter the heat transfer in a semi-infinite stainless-steel when its surface at X = 0 is suddenly exposed to a constant heat flux from ceramic heat treatment pads. One-dimensional transient conduction heat transfer in a semi-infinite solid which is suddenly exposed to a constant heat flux at X = 0 will be treated. There is suddenly a constant surface flux, q_{X = 0}, which is applied at X = 0 surface as shown in Figure 17-1. Applicable partial differential equation and initial and boundary conditions are given in Equations 17-1.
