Abstract The present work applies the hybrid method of the Laplace transform technique and a modified discretization scheme to analyze the non-linear hyperbolic heat conduction problems in a semi-infinite domain with either linearly or exponentially temperaturedependent thermal conductivity. The Laplace transform method is used to remove the time-dependent terms in the governing differential equation and the boundary conditions, and then the transformed equations are discretized by a modified discretization scheme. To show the rationality and reliability of the present results, a comparison between the present numerical results and those in the literature is made. Results show the behavior of hyperbolic heat conduction is sensitive to the function form of thermal conductivity. The speed of heat propagation changes for the variation of thermal conductivity.

1. Introduction The finite propagation speed of heat has been demonstrated for extremely short times, for temperatures near absolute zero and for high heat flux [1–3]. Under the circumstances, the heat propagation is a wave-like. Hence, the hyperbolic heat conduction equation was proposed to describe the phenomena of heat transfer at a finite speed. This equation has been a satisfactory extension of the classical heat conduction equation. Due to the mathematics difficulty, the hyperbolic heat conduction problem is always discussed under the assumption of constant thermal properties. For the practical interest, the temperature-dependent effect of thermal properties on heat transfer should be taken into account. The literatures [4–17] studying the hyperbolic heat conduction problem are numerous, but the most have paid attention on the linear problems. Glass et al. [14] used the MacCormackÕs predictor–corrector scheme to solve the HHC problems in a semi-infinite slab with the temperature-dependent thermal conductivity. The results show that the temperature-dependent thermal conductivity strongly affects the temperature distribution. Kar et al. [15] assumed the thermal diffusivity constant and applied the Kirchhoff transformation to linearize the non-linear HHC equation. Chen and Lin [16] have ever proposed the hybrid application of the Laplace transform method and control volume method in conjunction with the TaylorÕs series approximation and the suitable hyperbolic shape functions to solve non-linear HHC problems. Pulvirenti et al. [17] used the MacCormackÕs predictor–corrector scheme to investigate the HHC problem in an infinite solid cylinder with temperature-dependent thermal properties. The previous works [14–17] unanimously assumed that the thermal properties linearly depend on temperature. In practice, it is possible that the thermal properties are not a linear function of temperature. In order to investigate the temperature-dependent effect of thermal conductivity on the temperature distribution of hyperbolic heat conduction, this work considers the thermal conductivity is a linear function or an exponential function of temperature. It can be observed from the previous literatures [4–17] that the major difficulty encountered in the numerical solution of such problems is numerical oscillations in the vicinity of sharp discontinuities. When the thermal conductivity is an exponential function of temperature, the present problem becomes the high non-linear problem. Thus, solving the present problem is a hard task. The present work divides the whole space domain into several sub-space domains, and the thermal conductivity in each sub-space domain is assumed to be constant. Then, the hybrid application of the Laplace transform technique and a modified discretization scheme in conjunction with the suitable hyperbolic shape functions is applied to solve the present problem. When the thermal conductivity inversely changes to temperature, the results in the literatures [14,16] show that the sharp thermal wavefront can be diminished and the speed

of thermal wave propagation is almost same as that for the constant thermal conductivity. It is an interesting phenomenon and is studied again in the present work.
2. Mathematical formulation In a local energy balance, the energy conservation equation without heat source or sink in the medium can be given as qC P
oT ðx; tÞ oqðx; tÞ þ ¼ 0; ot ox
ð1Þ
where the density q and the specific heat CP are assumed to be constant. In order to accommodate the finite propagation speed of the observed thermal waves, Cattaneo [18] and Vernotte [19] suggested a modified heat flux model in the form s
oqðx; tÞ oT ðx; tÞ þ qðx; tÞ ¼ kðT Þ ; ot ox
ð2Þ
where q is the heat flux, T the temperature, t the time and x is the space coordinate. The thermal conductivity k(T) is assumed to vary with temperature. s denotes relaxation time. In the present study, it is assumed that the thermal conductivity k(T) can be expressed as k(T) = k0k*(T), where k*(T) is a arbitrary function of temperature and k0 is the reference thermal conductivity. Thus, the relaxation time s can be defined as s ¼ qCkP0 c2 , where c0 denotes the reference propagation speed of the 0 thermal wave. Elimination of q between Eqs. (1) and (2) leads to the HHC equation as o2 T oT o oT ¼ aðT Þ s 2 þ ; ð3Þ ot ot ox ox where a is the thermal diffusivity and is defined as a = k(T)/(qCP).

The present numerical scheme assumes the thermal conductivity constant in each sub-space domain. For conveniently computing the present results, the thermal in the jth sub-space domain, k j , is estimated with conductivity þ h h k i;j 2 iþ1;j . Thus the distance between two neighboring nodes ‘ and the initial 0 guesses of the dimensionless nodal temperatures hi , i = 1, 2, . . . ,m, should be carefully chosen for the present numerical scheme. They may affect the stability and convergence of the present results and the speed of convergence. Fig. 2 displays the present results of h(g, 1) for various k values under k*(h) = 1 + 0.25h 0 and hi ¼ 1 are coincident. This result shows the present results are convergent. 0 0 0 On other hand, hi ¼ 0, hi ¼ 0:5, and hi ¼ 1 are respectively used to estimate the values of h(g, 1) for ‘ = 0.02 and k*(h) = 1 + 0.25h.

the computation results are below 103. It implies that the effect of the initial guesses on the present numerical results is not very significant. The present results are reliable. Fig. 3 shows the dimensionless temperature distribution for the case of k*(h) = 1 + bh at n = 1 and various b values. Glass et al. [14] and Chen and Lin [16] had ever given the results for b = 0.25, 0, and 0.25. Thus a comparison between the present numerical results and the results given by Glass et al. [14] and Chen and Lin [16] is made. It can be observed from Fig. 3 that the present results agree with the results of Glass et al. [14] and Chen and Lin [16], except around the wave front. In accordance with the definition of the thermal wave speed,pffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffi the ffi thermal wave speed can be described as pffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffi c ¼ kðT Þ=sqC P ¼ c0 k ðhÞ [14], where c0 is the reference thermal wave speed. Due to the boundary conditions, the temperature distribution in the sample system should be positive in magnitude for t > 0 at the b values, 0.25, 0, and 0.25. Thus, the heat propagation speed will increase with the b value increasing in accordance with the definition of the propagation speed of thermal wave. The thermal wave speed for b = 0.25 should be slower than that for b = 0 at any specific time. This lower velocity is due to the decrease of the diffusion coefficient relative to the linear case [21]. As a result, the penetration distance of thermal wave for b = 0.25 should be different with that for b = 0 at n = 1. However, the results of Glass et al.

[16] display the thermal wave penetrates the same distance at n = 1 for b = 0.25 and b = 0. It implies that the present numerical results should be rational. The above results further evidence the reliability of the present numerical results. In addition, the degree of non-linearity of the present problem increases with the absolute value of b increasing. Glass et al. [14] only presented the numerical results for b = ±0.25. Chen and Lin [16] further presented the numerical results for b = ±0.5. However, the present numerical scheme can obtain the results of b = 2. This phenomenon shows the present numerical scheme is efficient for such problems. Fig. 4 presents the dimensionless temperature distributions at n = 1 for k*(h) = exp(bh) and various b values. The degree of non-linearity of the present problem increases as the thermal conductivity exponentially depends on temperature. The stability of the present numerical scheme is affected by the higher non-linearity, so that a mildly numerical oscillation appears at the wave front, as shown in Fig. 4. Due to the temperature-dependent effect of thermal conductivity, the temperature distribution curve tends upward for the positive b value and tends downward for the negative b value, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4. In addition, increasing the value of b can promote the ability of heat transfer in the sample slab. The values of the temperature distribution in the sample slab increase with the value of b increasing.

Fig. 5. Temperature distributions at various n values induced by the constant boundary temperature for k*(h) = 1 + 0.5h and k*(h) = exp(0.5h).
Fig. 5 shows a comparison between the temperature distributions for k*(h) = 1 + 0.5h and k*(h) = exp(0.5h) at various early time values. It can be observed from Fig. 5 that the locations of the jump discontinuities for k*(h) = 1 + 0.5h and k*(h) = exp(0.5h) at a specific dimensionless time are different. It further displays the propagation speed of thermal wave is dependent of the functional form of k*(h). At the same time, there is a deviation between the temperature distributions for k*(h) = 1 + 0.5h and k*(h) = exp(0.5h) at a specific dimensionless time. The values of the temperature distributions for k*(h) = exp(0.5h) are bigger than those for k*(h) = 1 + 0.5h. The rapidly varying k*(h) has a significant effect on the profile of h(g, n). In other words, the temperature distribution is sensitive to the functional form of k*(h). 4.2.

and Figs. 6 and 7 demonstrate the temperature distributions at n = 0.5 for k*(h) = 1 + bh and k*(h) = exp(bh), respectively. The major difficulty encountered in the numerical solution of the linear HHC problem is numerical oscillation in the vicinity of sharp discontinuity [4–13]. The pulse disturbance, as described by Eq. (25a), causes two sharp discontinuities in both edges of the pulse wave, so that the possibility of occurring numerical oscillation increases. It can be found from Figs. 6 and 7 that no obviously numerical oscillation appears. This phenomenon implies that the present method can suppress the numerical oscillation and solve the strongly non-linear HHC problems. 1 k *(θ) = 1+βθ ξ=0.5

Because that the thermal conductivity apparently changes in the region of thermal wave for b = 0.25 and 0.25, the reflection phenomenon is created at the left edge of the thermal wave. The thermal conductivity in the region of the thermal wave increases for k*(h) = 1 + 0.25h and k*(h) = exp(0.25h). The higher thermal conductivity makes the heat transfer ability increasing [12]. The more energy moving through the left edge of the thermal wave into the region of the thermal wave. Thus it is observed that the reflected wave is downward for b = 0.25. Conversely, the reflected wave is upward for b = 0.25. Fig. 8 displays the temperature distributions induced by a heating pulse of Dn = 0.1 for k*(h) = 1 and k*(h) = exp(0.5h) at various n values. It is clear that the reflection phenomenon at the left edge of the thermal wave does not happen for k*(h) = 1. It also can be found from Fig. 8 that the reflection phenomenon gradually decays with the n value increasing for k*(h) = exp(0.5h), because the strength of pulse disturbance gradually decays with the n value increasing so that the value of k*(h) = exp(0.5h) approaches to 1. As h > 0, the value of k*(h) = exp(0.5h) is greater than k*(h) = 1. Thus the wave speed for k*(h) = exp(0.5h) is greater than that for k*(h) = 1, and the width of the pulse disturbance expands. The effect of the heating duration Dn on the temperature distribution is studied. The temperature distributions plotted in Fig. 9 are for n = 0.5 and k*(h) = 1 + 0.5h. It is found from Fig. 9 that the leading edges of the pulse for various values of Dn, 0.02, 0.04, and 0.06, are coincident. It implies that

the wave speed is independent of the heating duration Dn. Due to an increase in energy heated on the boundary surface g = 0, the values of the temperature distribution are on the rise for the value of Dn increasing. 5. Conclusion A numerical scheme is developed for the non-linear HHC problem. Numerical results for the temperature distributions induced by a pulse boundary disturbance and by a constant boundary temperature are presented. The degree of non-linearity of the present problems increases with the absolute value of b increasing. The present numerical scheme can obtain the results of the high non-linearity cases without the serious numerical oscillation. This shows the efficiency of the present numerical scheme for such problems. The dependent-temperature thermal conductivity affects the temperature distribution and the thermal wave speed. The behavior of hyperbolic heat conduction is sensitive to the functional form of k*(h). References [1] D.C. Kelly, Diffusion: a relativistic appraisal, Am. J. Phys. 36 (1968) 585–591. [2] A.
