Quasi-analogue method for determination thermal contact resistance

Method for solution of inverse problem of thermal conductivity using identification of the 4th kind boundary conditions by the method of parametric optimization is suggested. The temperature of contact surface is approximated by parametric functions and inverse problem solution is reduced to search for parameters of these functions. The flowsheet of the device for realizing the 4th kind boundary conditions is described. Statment and solution of two-dimensional problem of determining thermal contact resistances between two contacting bodies are presented. 8 refs.; 4 figs.; 1 tab
