Linear iterative technique for solution of nonlinear thermal network problems

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/7322620· OSTI ID:7322620
A method for rapid and accurate solution of linear and/or nonlinear thermal network problems is described. It is a matrix iterative process that converges for nodal temperatures and variations of thermal conductivity with temperature. The method is computer oriented and can be changed easily for design studies.
