Heat Conduction of a Finite Rod due to a given Flow of Heat (Part I) : Case of Constant Flow of Heat

Abstract

Heat conduction of a finite rod due to a given constant flow of heat is treated by F. Ollendorff in the following. Rothe-Ollendorff-Pohlhassen : "Funktionen Theorie und ihre Anwendung in der Technik". In the above discussion he assumes that flow of heat takes place only in the rod and is insulated perfectly to the opposite side of heat source. In the present paper, flow of heat takes place not only in the conducting rod, but also in surroundings through an insulator.
