Abstract
A practical thermal circuit method for analyzing heat transfer in composite walls with energy generating sections is developed in this paper. The meth od applies to plane walls as well as solid and hollow circular and spherica l geometries. The method provides a means of efficiently dealing with a cla ss of practical heat transfer problems that would otherwise require a much more involved set of solution steps.
