The accuracy of measurements in lumped R-C cable circuits as used in the study of transient heat flow

The Truncation Error in a Semi‐Discrete Analog of the Heat Equation

“…Paschkis and Heisler (16), in a study of a general class of errors arising in the use of continuous computers, have departed from the procedure employed by many of the writers. Taking a predetermined mesh size (number) as a control they have experimentally compared results for other larger mesh sizes.…”

Heat Transfer.

“…One utilizes a machine composed of a resistor-capacitor grid in which proper manipulation of the capacitors, resistors, and applied voltage enables the machine to simulate a wide variety of complex steady-and unsteady-state industrial problems. This machine was used by Paschkis (58) to study the temperature distribution on the surface of a brick wall with, rportar joints, by Paschkis and Heisler (59) to evaluate the influence of conduction by through-metal in insulated furnace walls, and by Bradley, Ernst, and Paschkis (11) to determine the economic thickness of insulation for intermittent operation. In a recent book Paschkis (57) applied the results of this technique to the problems of furnace design.…”
