ABSTRACT

In this chapter we will develop a general equation that describes temperature in a material in any kind of heating or cooling situation. Later, in Chapters 4 through 8, we

• governing equation• boundary temperature specified

• control volume• boundary heat flux specified

• storage term

• convection term• boundary convective heat transfer

• diffusion term

• generation term• bioheat transfer
