Abstract

Abstract: A novel analytical symplectic method is introduced to investigate the three-dimensional steady-state heat conduction of cylinders with specific mixed boundary conditions (partial temperature and partial heat flux density). By defining the temperature and heat flux density as the mutually dual variables, the Hamiltonian form of governing equations are established. The original problem is reduced into a symplectic eigenproblem which can be solved by the method of separation of variables and a symplectic sub-system. Exact analytical solution is obtained and expressed in terms of symplectic eigensolutions. Comparison studies demonstrate the accuracy of the proposed method. Some new results are given also.
