Abstract: | This study aims to estimate unknown base temperature distribution in different non-Fourier fins. The Cattaneo–Vernotte (CV) heat model is used to predict the heat conduction behavior in these fins. This inverse problem is solved by the function-estimation version of the Adjoint conjugate gradient method (ACGM) based on boundary temperature measurements. The ACGM includes direct, sensitivity, and adjoint problems. For each of these problems, a one-dimensional general formulation of the non-Fourier model for longitudinal fins with arbitrary profile is driven and solved by an implicit finite difference method. In this study, three different profiles are considered: triangular, convex parabolic, and concave parabolic. For each of them, two different base temperature distributions are estimated using an inverse method. Moreover, the effects of sensor positions at the fin tip and a specific place in-between are considered on the base temperature estimation. A close agreement between the exact values and the estimated results is found, confirming the validity and accuracy of the proposed method. The results show that the ACGM is an accurate and stable method to determine the thermal boundary conditions in different non-Fourier fin problems. |
