22. Transient Heat Transfer During Seasonal Heating and Cooling of Earth’s Surface with Periodic Surface Temperature Fluctuations Available to Purchase

Temperatures on Earth’s surface fluctuates daily and seasonally in a periodic fashion that affect temperatures on its surface and in its depths. In this chapter, we will investigate transient heat transfer from a semi-infinite surface with periodic surface temperature fluctuations with respect to an average annual temperature, T_ave, and a maximum annual temperature, T_max, as given in Equations 22-1.
