Theoretical Development of Heat Transfer Model — Lesson 1

This lesson covers the fundamentals of non-Fourier heat conduction, a concept crucial in understanding specific welding processes and ultrasound pulse laser processing. The lesson delves into the differences between Fourier and non-Fourier heat conduction models, the assumptions made in Fourier's law, and how these assumptions are modified in non-Fourier models. It also explains how to develop a finite element model for non-Fourier heat conduction and how to apply it in different scenarios. For instance, the lesson illustrates how to use the model to analyze the heating of nano films using ultrasound pulse lasers.
