Software Description Five computer programs are available - two of them are shareware. 1. Two Windows-based programs are offered for sale. Both are related to inverse problems in heat conduction. The first is IHCP1D. It is for determining time-variable heat flux or heat transfer coefficients on the surface of a one-dimensional heat conducting body utilizing measured transient interior (or surface) temperatures histories. The thermal properties of the body must be known. For additional information on IHCP1D, press here. 2. A two dimensional version of IHCP1D, called IHCP2D, is available. This program provides estimates of the surface heat flux distribution and/or surface heat transfer coefficient, as a function of space and time by utilizing transient temperature measurements at points interior to the body. Temperature-dependent thermal properties can be accommodated by the program. The body geometry can be of two-dimensional planar or cylindrical axisymmetric configuration. For more information on this two-dimensional software, press here. 3. The second Windows-based program offered is PROP1D. It is a program for the estimation of thermal conductivity, volumetric heat capacity, thermal diffusivity and thermal contact conductance, given appropriate transient temperature and heat flux measurements. Temperature-variable properties can be estimated and the bodies can be one-dimensional layered plates, cylinders and spheres. For additional information on PROP1D, press here. 4. The first shareware program, CONDS, is a one-dimensional transient heat conduction program written by Prof. Haji-Sheikh. It can treat plates, cylinders and spheres, with one or two layers. It can be directly downloaded, together with a necessary supporting file. For additional information on CONDS, press here. 5. The second shareware program, COND3D, is a three-dimensional transient program for the temperatures and heat fluxes in a homogeneous parallelepiped. It allows constant temperature, heat flux or convection conditions on each of the 6 faces. The program can also be used for one and two dimensional problems. It provides extreme accurate answers, generally up to 9 significant figures. The program can be used to verify solutions given by approximate techniques and to aid in teaching advanced conduction classes.
