A data method using the inner temperature difference to improve the stability of the inverse heat conduction problems

Abstract

This article proposes a method to construct two series systems for improving the stability of the inverse heat conduction problems (IHCP) in a finite slab. The transfer function between the surface heat flux or temperature and the inner temperature difference is respectively obtained by Laplace transform technique firstly. Then the series systems which can solve IHCP based on the inner temperature difference are constructed by replacing the unsuitable zero and pole points of the transfer function approximated by è approximation. Finally the effects of the series systems are evaluated by a typical example. The results of the evaluation show that this method can obtain the surface heat flux and temperature by the inner temperature difference, and enhance the response speed of the measurement system at the same time. In addition this method can also improve the signal to noise ratio (SNR) of the inverse solutions by selectively amplifying the high SNR parts of the inner temperature difference. The present work provides an effective method to improve the stability of IHCP.
