Heat conduction problems in a homogeneous pipe with inner nonhomogeneous coating

Abstract

The paper deals with the analysis of nonhomogeneous inner coatings for a homogeneous pipe with respect of heat loss from the outer pipe surface. Two kinds of the coatings in the form of ring layers are considered: (1º) with the thermal properties changing continuously along the coating thickness (called the coating A), (2º) multilayered coatings with piecewise continuous thermal properties (called the coatings B). The analysis is connected with the stationary heat conduction problems. Some special cases of the coatings A and B are investigated. The obtained analytical results and the comparison of the coatings are presented.
