Abstract
A closed-form model for the computation of temperature distribution in an infinitely extended isotropic body with a time-dependent moving-line-heat sources is discussed. The temperature solutions are presented for the sources of the forms: (i) Q̇1(t) = Q̇0 exp(-γt), (ii) Q̇2(t) = Q̇0(t/t(Black star)) exp(-γt), and Q̇3(t) = Q̇0[1 + s cos (wt)], where γ and ω are real parameters and t(Black star) characterizes the limiting time. The reduced (or dimensionless) temperature solutions are presented in terms of the generalized representation of an incomplete gamma function Γ(α, x; b) and its decompositions CΓ and SΓ. It is also demonstrated that the present analysis covers the classical temperature solution of a constant strength source under quasi-steady-state situations.
