Application of experimental design methods to assess the effect of uncertain boundary conditions in inverse heat transfer problems

چکیده

Inverse methods are often used in heat transfer analysis to determine parameters which are difficult or impossible to measure directly, from carefully selected experimental measurements which can be more easily carried out. In this type of procedure,-there are often a large number of boundary conditions which can affect the outcome. Often it is impractical, or even impossible, to accurately measure all influential boundary conditions, and thus estimates are employed. However, the question naturally arises, how sensitive are the results of the inverse analysis to the assumed boundary conditions? A statistical method, employing an orthogonal array matrix designed experiment, which was used to estimate the effect of the uncertain boundary conditions on the results of the analysis, is described in detail and the results are given.

In geometric inverse problems, it is assumed that some parts of domain boundaries are not accessible and geometric shape and dimensions of these parts cannot be measured directly. The aim of inverse geometry problems is to approximate the unknown boundary shape by conducting some experimental measurements on accessible surfaces. In the present paper, the artificial neural network is used to sol...

Numerical Solution of a Free Boundary Problem from Heat Transfer by the Second Kind Chebyshev Wavelets

In this paper we reduce a free boundary problem from heat transfer to a weakly Singular Volterra  integral equation of the first kind. Since the first kind integral equation is ill posed, and an appropriate method for such ill posed problems is based on wavelets, then we apply the Chebyshev wavelets to solve the integral equation. Numerical implementation of the method is illustrated by two ben...
