Abstract-In a previous paper [I], numerical solutions to mitral-boundary value problems sema-empzrzcal model of heat conduction were compared with available experimental results.

In the present paper, we modify the model by introducing more realistic approximations of constltutive functions, based on measured heat conductivities and second sound speeds for NaF at low temperatures (10. 20° K). We achieve good accordance between measured second sound pulses and numerical solutions in the temperature range covered by experiments, and reasonable behaviour even beyond this interval. Especially, a passage to the diffusive regime of the classical Fourier law is possible. Keywords-Second time, Hyperbolic

1. INTRODUCTION The aim of this paper is to calculate numerical solutions to a hyperbolic system of equations modelling heat conduction in a range of temperatures characterized by the occurrence of heat pulses (second sound waves), and to compare these solutions with experimental data. Such heat pulses occur, e.g., in very pure crystalline solids (Bi, NaF) around the critzcal temperature of the material at hand. IJsually, there is a maximum of heat conductivity, and near this point second sound appears. Due to the increasing heat capacity, the pulse speed decreases with increasing temperature. At a certain distance from the maximum, to both sides, the pulses disappear, and the diffusive regime takes over. In recent years, a new theory of heat conduction was developed by Kosiliski et al. [2] which was designed to be simple, consistent with rational thermodynamics, and yet capable of describing heat pulses. Hence, obviously the new theory had to be hyperbolic, but it must also allow a passage to the classical (parabolic) case given by Fourier’s law. Based on elements of approaches given by [3-51, a theory with an additional scalar state variable p and a kinetic equation for it was introduced. Typeset 19

By design, at equilibrium, j3 coincides with the classical absolute temperature B, otherwise fl follows after 0 with a certain delay, controlled by a parameter T (called relaxation time).l This delay introduces hyperbolicity and, if chosen small, controls the passage to the classical case.

can be treated as a variable relaxation time. Well-posedness, characteristic wave speeds, and blow-up have been discussed in [2,6]. Recently, classical analytical solutions have been constructed [7]. Numerical solutions to initial-boundary value problems for bismuth and NaF have been shown to reproduce heat pulses at the corresponding critical temperatures [I]. It was observed in [6] that-under the above restrictions (3)-(5)-the Helmholtz free energy $ must be a homogeneous quadratic function in {V/3], with a coefficient being itself a linear homogeneous function in 8. Further, one infers that the kinetic equation is determined up to an integration constant $sO. Hence, the semi-empirical model with (3)-(6) is d et ermined by the constitutive functions E(Q), ~(6’)) and one additional constant $2,. On the other hand, the functions E and K can be identified from experimental data, e.g., in the case of NaF (cf. [8,9]). But moreover, there are also data available for the speed UE of second sound pulses in dependence of the absolute temperature 6 [8,10]. A comparison yields that by choice of $+,, it is possible to obtain the right speed at a certain temperature (e.g., the critical temperature Bc, 8, = 16.5 for NaF)2. In the present paper, we show that heat pulses with the right speed are obtained in a satisfactory range of temperatures, moreover, for increasing temperatures, the solutions tend more and more to the classical behaviour. ‘Observe that the same was true in Maxwell-Cattaneo-Vernotte models, but for the heat flux vector q itself, not for a scalar (temperature-like) parameter. 2Throughout this paper, we wilt use only dimensionless variables. The values of constants and the parameters of functions correspond to the following units: temperature (0 and @) rn OK, length m cm, time in ,US, energy in J.

At very low temperatures for both the specific heat c+,(S) and the heat conductivity usually a third order monomial is assumed, cf. (7),(S) [1,8]. It, is easy to see that in that case finally only the ratio c = Q/Q

However, an analysis of the experimental data [S] shows that ~(0) reaches a maximum. The coincidence of that maximum with the most clearly visible second sound appearance leads to the conjecture that it could be essential to substitute (8) with a function that fits better to the measured values of K. A family of functions suitable for modelling the behaviour of K is given by

In the sense of least squares method, we obtained the best fit of the data from [S] with a = -7.150703,
b = 6.530065,
c = -1.204074.
For the minimization of the error sum, we used a quasi-Newton algorithm (cf. [ll]). In Figure 1, a comparison of experimental data and the theoretical curve is shown, while Figure 2 dismantles that the range of validity of (8) IS rather short and all on the left-hand side of the critical temperature.

Of course, if we introduce the above form (11) of the heat conductivity, the ratio of K. and d(e) is no longer constant. There is actually no evidence that Debye’s law (7) was not correct.3 Besides the data for heat conductivity and heat capacity, we need some information from which to deduce the most crucial constitutive element of the semi-empirical model, i.e., the right-hand side f of the evolution equation, or equivalently Q-= l/fe. To this end, we use the measured arrival times of the heat pulses in order to identify 7, and hence, f experimentally. C v=

FOR NaF
The experimental setup to be reproduced is the same as described in [l]. The data for the considered IBVP have been chosen to be in accordance with the heat pulse experiment for NaF reported in [8]. At the left-hand side of a specimen of pure NaF, the temperature is raised from the uniform value 80 to the value 8c+ imph (impulse height) for a short time impd (impulse duration). The length of the specimen is 0.83, the impulse height 1.0, and the impulse duration 0.25. The constant eu for NaF is assumed to be equal to 2.3 (cf. [9]). The obtained numerical results are visualized in Figure 6 and Figure 7 both for Dirichlet and Neumann type conditions.

6. CONCLUSIONS A phenomenological model of heat conduction, based on the concept of a semi-empirical temperature, has been used to determine the properties of heat pulses at low temperatures. The material functions determining the model have been obtained by fitting experimental data. For the present model, at temperatures near the critical one, second sound waves are made evident, with wave speeds in accordance with the measured arrival times. When we approach to the extremes of the interval of temperatures covered by experiments, second sound signals are dampened and the classical Fourier heat conduction is recovered. Furthermore, there is a different behaviour of heat pulses depending on the boundary conditions. In the case of Nuemann type boundary conditions, i.e., when the heat flux is assigned at the end of the specimen, we observe a much more evident damping of solutions. On the other hand, in the case of Dirichlet type conditions, i.e., when the temperature is assigned on the boundary, then it is possible to observe well-designed heat pulse profiles.
