Paper presented to the 10th International Conference on Heat Transfer, Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics, Florida, 14-16 July 2014.
The present paper propound an analytical inverse
method to calculate the heat transfer coefficient
of cutting fluids in machining processes. This
method starts by establishing an estimation of the
heat sources in the transient heat conduction dis-
tribution in a rectangular domain with convective
bounders in free convection. The non homogeneous
partial differential equation (PDE) is solved by In-
tegral Transform method. The test function for
the heat generation term is obtained by model-
ing of chip geometry and thermomechanical cut-
ting. Then the solution of PDE with heat gener-
ation term optimized is used to present an inverse
problem to calculate the convective heat transfer
coefficient.
