Temperature Uniformity in Heating-Up Processes

Abstract The treatment of temperature-uniformity problems by the method first introduced by Paschkis is extended and enlarged. It is shown that uniformity calculations can be reduced to the solution of a simple trigonometric relation which can be readily solved and analyzed. Standard Gurney-Lurie charts for cylinders and spheres are given in a more complete form than is available at present. A chart is included for determining temperature history in plates subjected to two-dimensional heat flow. Finite cylinders are discussed and three-dimensional heat-flow problems are briefly considered.
