TRANSIENT THERMAL BEHAVIOR OF MULTILAYER MEDIA:
MODELING AND APPLICATION TO STRATIFIED MOULDS

M. Lazard

UDC 536.24

Transient and steady-state heat transfer in multilayer 
media is investigated by the thermal quadrupole method. A semi-analytical 
solution is proposed for the cases of layers parallel or orthogonal 
to the main heat-flux direction. The principal application is the 
study of the effect of the brazing metal used in stratified steel 
moulds.
