CONDUCTION OF HEAT IN A SOLID IN CONTACT WITH A THIN LAYER OF A GOOD CONDUCTOR

Abstract

Boundary conditions and some exact solutions are given for problems on conduction of heat in a solid in contact with a thin layer of a good conductor. Numerical calculations are made for the case of a wire running normally between parallel planes, and the fineness ratio of thermocouple wires necessary to measure transient temperatures accurately in a poor conductor is considered.
