The interface temperature of two suddenly contacting semi-infinite bodies is developed using the hyperbolic heat-conduction equation. The times for which the non-Fourier effects are important are assessed. A numerical example for a system of uranium dioxide and sodium is considered.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
