| Popis: | An economical method for obtaining long-time solutions to one, two, or three-dimensional heat-conduction transients with time-dependent forcing functions is presented. The conduction problem is spatially discretized by finite differences or by finite elements to obtain a system of first-order ordinary differential equations. The time-dependent input functions are each approximated by continuous, piecewise-linear functions each having the same uniform time interval. A set of response coefficients is generated by which a long-time solution can be carried out with a considerably lower cost than for conventional methods. The method has applications in problems of air-conditioning calculations for buildings and in the development of load models for solar energy studies. |
