The dimensionless transient temperature
and average temperature
of a plate (
), cylinder (
), and sphere (
), described by the partial differential equation problem
∂ξ θ(ξ,τ),
,
,
, are plotted (transient in orange, average in blue) as a function of dimensionless time
. The numerical values for transient and average temperatures can be computed for any dimensionless coordinate
and time
.
