ABSTRACT
In the present study an inverse heat conduction problem is solved using an iterative and regularization method, that is, the Conjugate Gradient Method (CGM). CGM is used for estimating the unknown boundary heat flux based on the boundary temperature measurements. The results obtained in this inverse problem was justified based on the numerical experiments where three different heat flux distributions were to be determined, intermediate or high mixing in real time. The comparison results proved the validity and accuracy of the CGM developed in the paper for estimation of the boundary heat flux.
