Exact solution of conductive heat transfer in cylindrical composite laminate

Abstract

This paper presents an exact solution for<br><br>steady-state conduction heat transfer in cylindrical composite<br><br>laminates. This laminate is cylindrical shape and in<br><br>each lamina, fibers have been wound around the cylinder.<br><br>In this article heat transfer in composite laminates is being<br><br>investigated, by using separation of variables method and<br><br>an analytical relation for temperature distribution in these<br><br>laminates has been obtained under specific boundary conditions.<br><br>Also Fourier coefficients in each layer obtain by<br><br>solving set of equations that related to thermal boundary<br><br>layer conditions at inside and outside of the cylinder also<br><br>thermal continuity and heat flux continuity between each<br><br>layer is considered. In this research LU factorization<br><br>method has been used to solve the set of equations.
