    1. The document discusses heat conduction in a finite slab initially at a uniform temperature. It presents the governing equation and solves it using separation of variables. 2. The solution is expressed as an infinite series involving exponential and cosine terms that depend on the slab thickness, thermal diffusivity, and time. 3. The solution approach is extended to three dimensions for a rectangular block, expressed as a triple infinite series dependent on the block dimensions and thermal properties.

    Module 2 :
    Diffusive heat and mass transfer

    Lecture 15:
    Heating of a finite slab

    NPTEL,IITKharagpur,Prof.SaikatChakraborty,DepartmentofChemicalEngineering

    Consider heat conduction in y- direction in a finite slab of thickness 2b, initially at a


    uniform temperature of T0.
    The governing equation is given as

    T
    2T
    = 2
    t
    y

    (1)

    The initial and boundary conditions are

    At t = 0 T = T0 for all y

    At y = b T = T1 ( t > 0 )

    Here we assumed that symmetry will hold for all t

    Solve

    So the new I.C. and B.Cs are


    At = 0 = 1
    At = 1 = 0

    NPTEL,IITKharagpur,Prof.SaikatChakraborty,DepartmentofChemicalEngineering

    Solution by separation of variables


    Lets say, ( , ) = f ( ) g ( )

    (3)

    Substituting eqn. (3) in (2), we get

    1 dg 1 d 2 f
    =
    = C 2
    2
    g d f d

    (4)

    dg
    = C 2 g
    d
    g = A exp ( C 2 )

    (5)

    d2 f
    = C 2 f
    2
    d
    f = B sin C + D cos C

    (6)

    where C,A,B,D are constants


    , hence f must be symmetric, therefore B = 0
    From B.C = 1 = 0
    D cos C = 0, and D 0

    Therefore

    where n = 0, 1, 2,.....

    n =

    with En = An Dn + A( n +1) D( n +1)


    Determine En by using I.C.

    1 = Dn cos n +

    n=0

    (9)

    Multiplying both sides of eqn. (9) by cos m + d and integrate from -1 to +1, we

    get

    The infinite series, in eqn. (12) converges rapidly at long times. For short times
    convergence is slow. But then the solution to the semi-infinite slab (eqn.,

    y
    4 t

    = 1 erf

    ) may be used.

    NPTEL,IITKharagpur,Prof.SaikatChakraborty,DepartmentofChemicalEngineering

    The solution can be extended to a three dimensions for a rectangular block of dimensions
    a, b and c. It is the product of three solutions of the form of eqn. (12)
