In accordance with this nomenclature, the temperature at any plane x and time 8 + A0 is given as

which may be interpreted as follows.. The temperature of the slab at any plane, x, and any time, 0, is equal to the average temperature of the two adjacent planes obtained at the time (0 -- A0).
The time interval A0 is determined by the equation

A0 = --

Omitting the graphical construction at the slab boundaries, reference to Fig. 9 demonstrates the graphical method by means of which the tempera ture at each plane is determined at successive intervals of time in accordance with Equation 18.
For the problem stated, the boundary condition at the insulated surface is specified by the equation

The details of the graphical construction are best obtained by inspection of Fig. 9. Note that the line (0,0,0') used to initiate the graphical con struction, is the only one drawn to the slab boundary A'. The numbered points indicate temperatures at the sub-slab boundaries at 1,2,3, etc., time intervals (A0) after the slab is exposed to the high temperature.
For transient heat flow in two dimensions, and also, for steady state conduction, numerical methods of solution are available in the literature.6-10'12'!9 These numerical methods are applicable to three dimensional problems, although the calculations involved normally become too tedious for most applications of the method. An additional technique of solution for one and two dimensional problems in transient conduction results from
