TRANSIENT THERMAL BEHAVIOR OF MULTILAYER MEDIA:
MODELLING AND APPLICATION TO STRATIFIED MOULDS


Transient and steady-state heat transfer in multilayer 
media is investigated by the thermal quadrupole method. The semi-analytical 
solution is proposed for the cases of layers parallel or orthogonal 
to the main heat flux direction. The principal application is the 
study of the effect of the brazing metal used in stratified steel 
moulds.
