Abstract

In this paper, we consider an inverse heat conduction problem (IHCP). The given heat conduction equation, the boundary condition, and the initial condition are presented in a dimensionless form. A set of temperature measurements at a single sensor location inside the heat conduction body is required. Using a linear transformation, the ill-posed IHCP becomes a Cauchy problem. This problem will be solved by applying Legendre polynomials. Results show that an excellent estimation can be obtained within a couple of minutes CPU time at pentium IV-2.4 GHz PC.
