One-dimensional, Steady-state Conduction in Composite Systems

This project studies steady-state heat conduction in series/parallel configurations.   A common example is conventional stud-wall (balloon) residential construction. The discussion includes both the planar isotherm model and the straight-line heat flux model.  A similar insulating arrangement is seen in this 1950’s photograph of a DC-6 aircraft interior.
