This work examines the effects of the known boundary conditions on the accuracy of the solution in one-dimensional inverse heat conduction problems. The failures in many applications of these problems are attributed to inaccuracy of the specified constants and boundary conditions. Since the boundary conditions and material properties in most thermal problems are imposed with uncertainty, the effects of their inaccuracy should be understood prior to the inverse analyses. The deviation from the exact solution has been examined for each case according to the errors in material properties, boundary location, and known boundary conditions. The results show that the effects of such errors are dramatic. Based on these results, the applicability and limitations of the inverse heat conduction analyses have been evaluated and discussed.

Various methods have been proposed to solve the inverse heat conduction problem of determining a boundary condition at the surface of a body from discrete internal temperature measurements. These include function specification and regularization methods. This paper investigates the various components of the regularization method using the sequential regularization method proposed by Beck and Murio (1986). Specifically, the effects of the regularization order and the influence of the regularization parameter are analyzed. It is shown that as the order of regularization increases, the bias errors decrease and the variance increases. Comparatively, the zeroth regularization has higher bias errors and the second-order regularization is more sensitive to random errors. As the regularization parameter decreases, the sensitivity of the estimator to random errors is shown to increase; on the other hand, the bias errors are shown to decrease.

A one-dimensional, nonlinear inverse heat conduction problem with surface ablation is considered. In-depth temperature measurements are used to restore the heat flux and the surface recession history. The presented method elaborates a whole domain, parameter estimation approach with the heat flux approximated by Fourier series. Two versions of the method are proposed: with a constant order and with a variable order of the Fourier series. The surface recession is found by a direct heat transfer solution under the estimated heat flux.

This note is concerned with a new method for the solution of an elliptic inverse heat conduction problem (IHCP). It considers an elliptic system where no information is given at part of the boundary. The method is iterative in nature. Starting with an initial guess for the missing boundary condition, the algorithm obtains corrections to the assumed value at every iteration. The updating part of the algorithm is the new feature of the present algorithm. The algorithm shows good robustness to noise and can be used to obtain a good estimate of the unknown boundary condition. A number of numerical examples are used to show the applicability of the method.

The paper presents an experimental-computational study of the results of using the IQLab program to solve inverse heat conduction problem and restore the surface temperature of cylindrical thermosondes from heat-resistant chromium-nickel alloys while cooling them in liquid media. The purpose of this paper is to verify the correct operation of the IQLab program when restoring the surface temperature of thermosondes with 1-3 thermocouples. The IQLab program is also designed to solve one-dimensional nonlinear direct lines and inverse heat conduction problems with constant initial and boundary conditions specified as a function of time in a tabular form with a constant and variable time step. A finite-difference method is used to solve the heat equation. Experiments were carried out on samples D = 10-50 mm in liquids with different cooling capacities such as aqueous solutions of  NaCl and Yukon-E polymer, rapeseed oil and I-20A mineral oil. For the calculation we used the readings of thermocouples installed at internal points of cylindrical thermosondes. The advantages of solving inverse heat conduction problems with the IQLab program include the possibility of restoring the surface temperature for cylindrical samples with a diameter of 10 mm to 50 mm with practical accuracy according to the indications of a single thermocouple located in the geometrical center of the thermosonde, which simplifies the manufacture of the probe. For larger dimensions with a diameter D ≥ 50 mm, it is necessary to install control intermediate thermocouples and perform additional tests. The solution of inverse heat conduction problems and restoration of the surface temperature of the sample makes it possible to calculate other important characteristics of the cooling process: the heat flux density and the heat transfer coefficient.

A solution scheme based on the maximum entropy method (MEM) for the solution of two-dimensional inverse heat conduction problems is established. MEM finds the solution which maximizes the entropy functional under the given temperature measurements. The proposed method converts the inverse problem to a nonlinear constrained optimization problem. The constraint of the optimization problem is the statistical consistency between the measured temperature and the estimated temperature. Successive quadratic programming (SQP) facilitates the numerical estimation of the maximum entropy solution. The characteristic feature of the proposed method is investigated with the sample numerical results. The presented results show considerable enhancement in resolution for stringent cases in comparison with a conventional method.
