Effects of Brownian and thermophoretic diffusions on nonequilibrium heat conduction in a nanofluid layer with periodic heat flux on one side and specified temperature on the other side are investigated numerically. The problem are described by eight dimensionless parameters: density ratio, heat capacity ratio, Lewis number, Soret coefficient, initial volume fraction of nanoparticles, initial temperature, Sparrow number, and period of the surface heat flux. Effects of Brownian and thermophoretic diffusions of nanoparticles on nonequilibrium heat conduction in nanofluid obtained by dispersing copper nanoparticles into ethylene glycol are investigated. The results showed that the Brownian and thermophoretic diffusions only affect the nanoparticle temperature but their effect on the heat transfer enhancement is negligible.

Thermal behaviors of a thin plate under a periodic surface thermal disturbance are investigated. The temperature and the displacement responses are predicted using the parabolic heat conduction model. The solution of temperature response is obtained by separation of variables. Firstly, an analytic expression of heat flux filed within the plate is obtained by using the parabolic heat conduction equation which is described by heat flux vector, then, based on the conservation equation of energy, the temperature response is given. The displacement response of the plate is solved analytically using the Nowachi’s and the Navier’s approachs. The thermal behaviors of a plate with various relatively parameters is calculated numerically and the results shown graphically.

Abstract In this contribution we propose new numerical methods for solving inverse heat conduction problems. The methods are constructed by considering the desired heat flux at the boundary as piecewise constant (in time) and then deriving an explicit expression for the solution of the equation for a stationary point of the minimizing functional. In a very special case the well-known Beck method is obtained. For the time being, numerical tests could not be included in this contribution but will be presented in a forthcoming paper.
