... to obtain simultaneous estimates of the unknown outer-wall heat flux and inlet temperature over the total time interval. Yang and Chen ( 17 ) verified the applicability of the linear least-squares-error method to the two-dimensional IHCPs. The inverse method applied in this study, i.e., the whole domain...

...Cha’o-Kuang Chen; Li-Wen Wu; Yue-Tzu Yang This study addresses the conjugate heat transfer problem of hydrodynamically developed turbulent flow in a circular pipe. An inverse method is used to estimate the time-varying inlet temperature and the outer-wall heat flux simultaneously on the basis...
