When I read some heat transfer book, I got a problem.
There are some numerical calculation methods in dynamic heat conducting in tube wall, but all the methods assume the temperature on one side of the tube and then calculate the temperature distributed in the wall.
But are there some methods assume that temperature on inner/outer sides both changes and then calculate the temperature in the wall ?

Sure, it's a matter of transient heat conduction. One has to be familiar with the forms of the steady-state and transient heat conduction equation, or systems of equations for heat transfer.

Normally in calculating temperature through a wall, on starts at the boundary condition and works toward the hottest temperature or axis/plane of symmetry.

Many systems are designed for steady-state, while others may be subject to slow time-varying boundary conditions. In off-normal conditions, the boundary condition may change rapidly with time.

Simulating transients, particularly rapid transients, requires finer time steps (and usually explicit (dynamic) vs implicit (static/quasi-static) numercial solutions). It is also an art.

Finer time steps, maybe, I'll try

shouldn't this be done by using integration?

Yes, finer time step and interation

do you have the formula?
 

1. What is dynamic heat transfer?

Dynamic heat transfer refers to the transfer of heat energy between a fluid and a solid surface that is in motion or undergoing changes in temperature.

2. How does dynamic heat transfer occur in a tube wall?

In a tube wall, dynamic heat transfer occurs through convection, which is the transfer of heat energy between a fluid and a solid surface due to the movement of the fluid.

3. What factors affect dynamic heat transfer in tube walls?

The factors that affect dynamic heat transfer in tube walls include the flow rate and velocity of the fluid, the temperature difference between the fluid and the tube wall, and the properties of the fluid and tube wall materials.

4. How is dynamic heat transfer in tube walls calculated?

Dynamic heat transfer in tube walls can be calculated using the Nusselt number, which takes into account the aforementioned factors and is used in equations to determine the heat transfer coefficient.

5. What are the practical applications of studying dynamic heat transfer in tube walls?

Studying dynamic heat transfer in tube walls is important in various engineering fields, such as in the design of heat exchangers and in the development of efficient cooling systems for industrial processes and power plants.
