A general solution is presented for a transient in a single-solid single-fluid heat exchanger resulting from an arbitrary space-and time-dependent variation of heat generation which can be expressed by ψ(x)·φ(τ). These results, which are obtained by a direct mathematical attack on the governing differential equations, include the response of the wall and coolant temperatures. As a special case, the step response of a heat exchanger having sinusoidally space-dependent internal heat generation is given. Heat exchangers to which these results apply include the heterogeneous nuclear reactor.
