This work constitutes a continuation of previous work on determining the internal temperature of foods by applying inverse heat transfer problem solving techniques. In this research, a mathematical model of heat transfer applied to foods is developed whose central part heat transfer can be described in Cartesian coordinates. This model uses techniques established in the previous work. The technique is based on the adjustment of parameters involved in heat transfer, minimizing the sum of squared errors between the measured temperatures and those calculated by the mathematical model. This paper discusses how the precision of this method would be affected with respect to the measurement time of the surface temperature and the delay time of the measurement.

This paper presents a numerical method to address function estimation problems in inverse heat transfer problems using parameter estimation approach without prior information on the functional form of the variable to be estimated. Using an inverse analysis, the functional form of a time-dependent heat transfer coefficient is estimated efficiently and accurately. The functional form of the heat transfer coefficient is assumed unknown and the inverse heat transfer problem should be treated using a function estimation approach by solving sensitivity and adjoint problems during the minimization process. Based on proposing a new sensitivity matrix, however, the functional form can be estimated in an accurate and very efficient manner using a parameter estimation approach without the need for solving the sensitivity and adjoint problems and imposing extra computational cost, mathematical complexity, and implementation efforts. In the proposed sensitivity analysis scheme, all sensitivity coefficients can be computed in only one direct problem solution at each iteration. In this inverse heat transfer problem, the body shape is irregular and meshed using a body-fitted grid generation method. The direct heat conduction problem is solved using the finite-difference method. The steepest-descent method is used as a minimization algorithm to minimize the defined objective function and the termination of the minimization process is carried out based on the discrepancy principle. A test case with three different functional forms and two different measurement errors is considered to show the accuracy and efficiency of the used inverse analysis.

Inverse heat transfer problem in digital temperature control in plate fin and tube heat exchangersThe aim of the paper is a steady-state inverse heat transfer problem for plate-fin and tube heat exchangers. The objective of the process control is to adjust the number of fan revolutions per minute so that the water temperature at the heat exchanger outlet is equal to a preset value. Two control techniques were developed. The first is based on the presented mathematical model of the heat exchanger while the second is a digital proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control. The first procedure is very stable. The digital PID controller becomes unstable if the water volumetric flow rate changes significantly. The developed techniques were implemented in digital control system of the water exit temperature in a plate fin and tube heat exchanger. The measured exit temperature of the water was very close to the set value of the temperature if the first method was used. The experiments showed that the PID controller works also well but becomes frequently unstable.
