Heat conduction: mathematical models and analytical solutions

Abstract

'Many phenomena in social, natural and engineering fields are governed by wave, potential, parabolic heat conduction,hyperbolic heat-conduction and dual-phase-lagging heat-conduction equations. These equations are not only appropriate for describing heat conduction at various scales, but also the most important mathematical equationsin physics. The focus of the present monograph is on theseequations: their solution structures, methods of finding their solutions under various supplementary conditions, aswell as the physical implication and applications of theirsolutions.' 'Therefore, the present monograph can serve asa reference for researchers working on heat conduction of macro- and micro-scales as well as on mathematical methodsof physics. It can also serve as a text for graduate courses on heat conduction or on mathematical equations inphysics.'--BOOK JACKET
