Mathematical modeling of heat process in a cylindrical domain with nonlinear thermal coefficients and a heat source on the axis

Abstract

A mathematical model of the heat process in one-dimensional domain governed by a cylindrical heat equation with a heat source on the axis $z=0$ and nonlinear thermal coefficients is considered. The developed model is particularly applicable for analyzing temperature variations on electrical contact surfaces, where precise thermal management is crucial for ensuring optimal performance and preventing overheating. To solve the mathematical model, we employ a solution method based on similarity transformations. This technique allows us to reduce the problem to an ordinary differential problem, which is equivalent to a nonlinear integral equations system. To ensure the existence and uniqueness of the solution, we employ the fixed point theory in a Banach space, providing a rigorous mathematical foundation for our analysis.
