Another feature of the present theory is that it provides a formalism for deducing a complete mathematical representation of a phenomenon. Such a representation consists, typically, of (1) Balance equations for extensive properties (such as the "equations of change" for mass, energy and entropy) (2) Thermokinematic functions of state (such as pv = RT, for simple perfect gases) (3) Thermokinetic functions of state (such as the Fourier heat conduction equation = -k(T,p)VT) and (4) The auxiliary conditions (i.e., boundary and/or initial conditions). The balances are pertinent to all problems covered by the theory, although their formulation may differ from one problem to another. Any set of... 

The thermal diffusivity can also be measured directly by employing transient heat conduction. The basic differential equation (Fourier heat conduction equation) governing heat conduction in isotropic bodies is used in this method. A rectangular copper box filled with grain is placed in an ice bath (0°C), and the temperature at its center is recorded [44]. The solution of the Fourier equation for the temperature at the center of a slab is used ... 

For the design and analysis of fixed-bed catalytic reactors as well as the determination of catalyst efficiency under nonisothermal conditions, the effective thermal conductivity of the porous pellet must be known. A collection of thermal conductivity data of solids published by the Thermophysical Properties Research Centre at Purdue University [ ] shows "a disparity in data probably greater than that of any other physical property ". Some of these differences naturally can be explained, as no two samples of solids, especially porous catalysts, can be made completely identical. However, the main reason is that the assumed boundary conditions for the Fourier heat conduction equation...

The equation for the conservation of energy is similar to that for mass conservation. The equation is obtained following similar steps as the diffusion equation starting from the equation for the conservation of energy, combining it with the constitutive heat conduction law (Fourier s law), which is similar to Pick s law (in fact. Pick s law was proposed by analogy to Fourier s law), the following heat conduction equation (Equation 3-1 lb) is derived ... 

The coverage of Chapter 4, Transient Heat Conduction, is now expanded to include (1) the derivation of the dimensionless Biot and Fourier numbers by nondimensionalizing the heat conduction equation and the boundary and initial... 

This paper deals with thermal wave behavior during frmisient heat conduction in a film (solid plate) subjected to a laser heat source with various time characteristics from botii side surfaces. Emphasis is placed on the effect of the time characteristics of the laser heat source (constant, pulsed and periodic) on tiiermal wave propagation. Analytical solutions are obtained by memis of a numerical technique based on MacCormack s predictor-corrector scheme to solve the non-Fourier, hyperbolic heat conduction equation. 

Heat waves have been theoretically studied in a very thin film subjected to a laser heat source and a sudden symmetric temperature change at two side walls. The non-Fourier, hyperbolic heat conduction equation is solved using a numerical technique based on MacCormak s predictor-corrector scheme. Results have been obtained for ftie propagation process, magnitude and shape of thermal waves and the range of film ftiickness Mid duration time wiftiin which heat propagates as wave. 

Here, K is a second-order tensor that is known as the thermal conductivity tensor, and the constitutive equation is known as the generalized Fourier heat conduction model for the surface heat flux vector q. The minus sign in (2-65) is a matter of convention the components of K are assumed to be positive whereas a positive heat flux is defined as going from regions of high temperature toward regions of low temperature (that is, in the direction of —V0). 

It is important to emphasize that the mathematical constraint imposed by coordinate invariance addresses only the selection of an allowable form of a constitutive equation, given the physical assumption, based on an educated guess, that there is a linear relationship between q and VO. Whether the resulting constitutive equation captures the behavior of any real material is really a question of whether the physical assumption of linearity is an adequate approximation. In fact, in the generalized Fourier heat conduction model, Eq. (2-65), there are several additional physical assumptions that must be satisfied, besides linearity between q and V0 ... 

Kinetic theory is introduced and developed as the initial step toward understanding microscopic transport phenomena. It is used to develop relations for the thermal conductivity which are compared to experimental measurements for a variety of solids. Next, it is shown that if the time- or length scale of the phenomena are on the order of those for scattering, kinetic theory cannot be used but instead Boltzmann transport theory should be used. It was shown that the Boltzmann transport equation (BTE) is fundamental since it forms the basis for a vast variety of transport laws such as the Fourier law of heat conduction, Ohm s law of electrical conduction, and hyperbolic heat conduction equation. In addition, for an ensemble of particles for which the particle number is conserved, such as in molecules, electrons, holes, and so forth, the BTE forms the basis for mass, momentum, and energy conservation equa-... 

When this evolutionary synthesis was formulated, people did not know what are genes. In this sense, the development of synthetic evolution theory can be compared to the initial steps of thermodynamics Fourier, for instance, formulated correct heat conduction equation (and developed powerful methods to solve it — Fourier series) without any knowledge of what was heat. But once molecular nature of heat was understood, the science of thermodynamics received its natural foundation in statistical mechanics. Similarly, once the nature of genes, as the sequences of DNA coding for particular proteins, was understood — it opened up the doors for molecular understanding of evolution. And since the molecules involved are, of course, biopolymers of DNA, RNA, and proteins — we should touch upon this topic in this book. That is why we invite you to the discussion of physics underpinnings of evolution. 

Compared with heat transfer, the process of moisture transport is slower by a factor of approximately 10. For example, moisture equilibration of a 12 mm thick composite, at 350 K, can take 13 years whereas thermal equilibration only takes 15 s. Fick adapted the heat conduction equation of Fourier, and his (Pick s) second law is generally considered to be applicable to the moisture diffusion problem. The one-dimensional Fickian diffusion law, which describes transport through the thickness, and assumes that the moisture flux is proportional to the concentration gradient, is ... 

The well-known dual-phase-lag heat conduction model introduces time delays to account for the responses among the heat flux vector, the temperature gradient and the energy transport. The dual-phase-lag heat conduction model has been used to interpret the non-Fourier heat conduction phenomena. The onedimensional dual-phase-lag constitutive equation relating heat flux to temperature gradient is expressed as (Xu, 2011 Zhou et al., 2009)... 

Models Based on a Desorption-Dissolution-Diffusion Mechanism in a Porous Sphere. The precursor of these models was the application by Bartle et. al [20] of the Pick s law of diflusion (or the heat conduction equation, i.e. the Fourier equation) to SFE of spherical particles. In doing so they had to assume an initial uniform distribution of the material extracted (in this specific case 1-8 cineole) from rosemary particles. Since Pick s law of difiusion from a sphere is analogous to a cooling hot ball (Crank [21] vs Carslaw and Jaeger [22]), this type of models have been considered to be analogous to heat transfer. This model was also used by Reverchon and his co-workers [23] and [24] to SFE of basil, rosemary and marjoram with some degree of success.

The relation between the heat energy, expressed by the heat flux q, and its intensity, expressed by temperature T, is the essence of the Fourier law, the general character of which is the basis for analysis of various phenomena of heat considerations. The analysis is performed by use of the heat conduction equation of Fourier-Kirchhoff. Let us derive this equation. To do this, we will consider the process of heat flow by conduction from a solid body of any shape and volume V located in an environment of temperature To(t) [5,6]. 

In the multidomains method and in the numerical methods, in accordance with the detailed solution of Fourier s heat conduction equation, it was assumed that the impulse response of the calorimeter is described by an infinite sum of exponential functions [Eq. (2.57)] ... 

The application of Fourier s conduction equation and hyperbolic heat conduction equation to the transient heating of semi-infinite solid is discussed in the following section. 

The density of state D e) is the number of states of particle between energy e and e + de). Fourier s law, Ohm s law, Pick s law, hyperbolic heat conduction equation, and mass, momentum, and energy equation can be derived from the BTE. 

To estimate the heat inleak of the spacers, the Fourier heat transfer equation for solid conduction, Eq. (7.49), should be employed. This analysis is very similar to that used for determining the heat inleak of the inner vessel supports in double-walled dewars. 

Fick first recognized the analogy among diffusion, heat conduction, and electrical conduction and described diffusion on a quantitative basis by adopting the mathematical equations of Fourier s law for heat conduction or Ohm s law for electrical conduction [1], Fick s first law relates flux of a solute to its concentration gradient, employing a constant of proportionality called a diffusion coefficient or diffu-sivity ... 

To use Fourier s law of heat conduction, a thermal balance must first be constructed. The energy balance is performed over a thin element of the material, x to x + Ax in a rectangular coordinate system. The energy balance is shown in equation 13 ... 

Heat conductivity has been studied by placing the end particles in contact with two thermal reservoirs at different temperatures (see (Casati et al, 2005) for details)and then integrating the equations of motion. Numerical results (Casati et al, 2005) demonstrated that, in the small uj regime, the heat conductivity is system size dependent, while at large uj, when the system becomes almost fully chaotic, the heat conductivity becomes independent of the system size (if the size is large enough). This means that Fourier law is obeyed in the chaotic regime. 

This section deals with problems involving diffusion and heat conduction. Both diffusion and heat conduction are described by similar forms of equation. Pick s Law for diffusion has already been met in Section 1.2.2 and the similarity of this to Fourier s Law for heat conduction is apparent.

Some interesting aspects of the interface kinetics appear only when temperature and latent heat are included into the model, if the process of heat conductivity is governed by a classical Fourier law, the entropy balance equation takes the form Ts,= + x w where s = - df dr. Suppose for simplicity that equilibrium stress is cubic in strain and linear in temperature and assume that specific heat at fixed strain is constant. Then in nondimensional variables the system of equations takes the form (see Ngan and Truskinovsky, 1996a)...
