“…The above relations express the recurrent form of the exact solution to the inverse problem of unsteady heat conductionfor bodies of one-dimensional geometry with non-stationary boundary conditions specified on one side. The recurrent form of writing the solution makes it possible to solve this problem from a unified position in a closed form, since the expression of solutions in explicit form, as, for example, in [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19], is possible not in all cases, as indicated in [2,5,6] The issues of correctness of this inverse problem of heat conduction (i.e, the existence of a solution, its uniqueness and its stability) were considered in detail in [5,6], therefore, in this study there is no need to reconsider them. The above solutions of the non-stationary inverse problem of heat conduction for one-dimensional bodies, obtained in this work, were successfully applied in a practical way as an integral part of the conjugate problem in determining the maximum effect of the carbon layer on the surface of the combustion chamber on the non-stationary parameters of the working fluid during radiationconvective heat transfer [20][21][22], and also in the development of the theory of heat transfer in heat-insulating packaging to stabilize the temperature regimes of storage of perishable products [23][24].…”
