“…A considerable number of research studies (Burggraf, 1964;Sparrow et al, 1964;Imber, 1974;Shoji, 1978;Monde, 2003aMonde, , 2003bWoodfield, 2006aWoodfield, , 2006b) have adopted analytical approaches for solving the IHCPs. Although limited to fairly simple geometry, explicit analytical solutions to IHCP have been derived and are very fast computational.…”
