Abstract

We present a model based on analytic solutions to the heat equation that calculates the temperature profiles induced by line shaped heat sources. The sensitivity of isotherms to various heating conditions including the effect of tailoring power profiles in both curved and straight sources is discussed. Conditions are presented that result in “dogboned” shaped isotherms. Also shown is the effect that inhomogeneities (e.g., power density fluctuations or defects in the material have on the ideal temperature profiles.
