Abstract

The inverse method has been adopted for finding the heat flux on a plate from the temperature data. On a plate which has been heated by electron beam rastering the temperature of the plate can be found using the thermal camera, however the heat flux cannot be measured directly. For the heat flux a numerical formulation needs to be performed for which methods such as the Fourier transformation, Duhamel Theorem and the second form of Newton Leibnitz equation have to be used. Applying these methods the final formulation has been done in MATLAB and validated using ANSYS. This method could be significant for estimating the heat flux which is generated from different designs of the laser beam rastering and could find applications in various fields of science and engineering.

Keywords
