Multidimensional Heat
Transfer
Heat transfer pproblems are also classified as being
g onedimensional, two-dimensional, or three-dimensional,
depending on the relative magnitudes of heat transfer rates in
different directions and the level of accuracy desired

Heat Generation
A medium through which heat is conducted may involve the
conversion of electrical,
electrical nuclear,
nuclear or chemical energy into heat
(or thermal) energy. In heat conduction analysis, such
conversion processes are characterized as heat generation.
Heat generation is a volumetric phenomenon. That is, it occurs
throughout the body of a medium. Therefore, the rate of heat
generation in a medium is usually specified per unit volume
whose unit is W/m3

the initial condition, which is a mathematical expression for
the temperature distribution of the medium initially.
T( x, y, z,0) = f ( x, y, z)
Note that under steady conditions, the heat conduction
equation does not involve any time derivatives, and thus we do
not need to specify
p y an initial condition
The heat conduction equation is first order in time, and thus the initial
condition cannot involve any derivatives (it is limited to a specified
temperature).
However, the heat conduction equation is second order in space
coordinates, and thus a boundary condition may involve first
