Heat conduction in one-dimensional functionally graded media based on the dual-phase-lag theory

摘要

In this article, heat conduction in one-dimensional functionally graded media is investigated based on the dual-phase-lag theory to consider the microstructural interactions in the fast transient process of heat conduction. All material properties of the media are assumed to vary continuously according to a power-law formulation with arbitrary non-homogeneity indices except the phase lags which are taken constant for simplicity. The one-dimensional heat conduction equations based on the dual-phase-lag theory are derived in a unified form which can be used for Cartesian, cylindrical, and spherical coordinates. A semi-analytical solution for temperature and heat flux is presented using the Laplace transform to eliminate the time dependency of the problem. The results in the time domain are then given by employing a numerical Laplace inversion technique. The semi-analytical solution procedure leads to exact expressions for the thermal wave speed in one-dimensional functionally graded media with different geometries based on the dual-phase-lag and hyperbolic heat conduction theories. The transient temperature distributions have been found for various types of dynamic thermal loading. The numerical results are shown to reveal the effects of phase lags, non-homogeneity indices, and thermal boundary conditions on the thermal responses for different temporal disturbances. The results are verified with those reported in the literature for hyperbolic heat conduction in cylindrical and spherical coordinates.
