SOLID BODY WITH A SPHERICAL HEATING SOURCE

UDC 536.2

A mathematical model of the process of formation of a 
temperature field in an infinite isotropic solid body containing a 
spherical heating source with a thermally thin thermoactive coating 
of its surface has been proposed. The obtained analytical solution 
of the corresponding problem of nonstationary heat conduction has 
been used for substantiation of the possibility of acting on the temperature 
field of the system under study in a controlled manner.
