THIS
note gives equations representing transient temperature dis~ibutions in two heat-conducting, one-dimensional finite solid bars following contact heating. Both bars are assumed to have identical uniform physical properties which remain constant during the transient. The bars are subject to the foliowing conditions (Fig. 1). (1) Bar 1 with a length His initially at a constant ternperature 7;‘. (2) Bar 2 with a length L - H is initially at a constant temperature Ti(r,’ # T;). (3) Bars are brought into contact at time, t = 0. Heat is conducted only through the contact surface. (4) Contact is discontinued at time, I = t,. No heat is transferred to the surround~gs.

THE energy
radiated by optically thick flows through their boundaries is expressed sometimes as a black body fluxqR = oT4, sometimes as a Rosseland diffuse flux __. t The work described in this paper was supported by the National Science Foundation under grant No. G-23170.

The purpose of this note is to establish, on the basis of two simple incompressible flows, the radiation parameters which govern the choice between these two formulations.
