Abstract
This study presents explicit analytical solutions of heat conduction problems for isotropic media with finite dimensions. The geometry configurations considered in this study include composite layer, wedge and circular media. The boundary conditions are assumed to be either thermal isolation or isothermal. The full field analytical solutions of temperature and heat fluxes for the composite layered media subjected to an embedded heat source are derived first by Fourier transform technique in conjunction with the image method. The corresponding problems of composite wedge and circular media are constructed by conformal mapping and the solutions of composite layer media. The explicit full field solutions are expressed in simple closed-forms which can be easily used in engineering applications. The numerical calculations of the temperature and heat fluxes distributions are provided in full field configuration base on the available analytic solutions.
