A mathematical model of heating of inhomogeneous medium “TEH-sand-air” was constructed and investigated as an initial-boundary value problem for the heat equation in polar coordinate system with boundary conditions that take into account the peculiarities of thermal processes at the boundaries of the inhomogeneous medium. A solution is given to the initial-boundary problem and an algorithm is proposed for calculating the thermal characteristics of the heating process and regular temperature conditions. The study is relevant for development of a computer virtual model of the heating process of an inhomogeneous medium in order to clearly demonstrate the heating process over a short period of time, as well as to calculate the corresponding thermal characteristics based on real experimental data.
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.
