One Term Approximation vs Lumped Heat Capacity

Transient Conduction problem solved using both Lumped Heat Capacity method and also the One Term Approximation Method for Sudden Convection, solving for both the surface temperature and the centerline temperature of a plane wall. For Unsteady Conduction, you will learn how to calculate the Biot Number, how to calculate the Fourier number, how to determine whether the Lumped Capacitance model is valid, and how to determine whether the One Term Approximation model is valid to solve unsteady state conduction problems.
