The inverse heat conduction problem (IHCP) in a one-dimensional composite slab with rate-dependent pyrolysis chemical reaction and outgassing flow effects is investigated using the iterative regularization approach. The thermal properties of the composites are considered to be temperature-dependent. A nonlinear conjugate gradient method formulation is developed and applied to solve the IHCP in an organic composite slab whose front-surface is subjected to high intensity periodic laser heating.
