There has been a substantial increase in the use of mathematical methods for modelling in engineering sciences. Amongst a variety of problems to have been solved sucessfully, are inverse problems. Inverse thermal problems involve the evaluation of boundary or initial conditions as well as thermal properties of a body from the remaining boundary, or some internal, conditions. This encompasses thermal designing, process controlling, optimum planning of experiments and experimental results interpretation. The success of any method for solving inverse problems lies not only in using elegant mathematical formulae but also in the stability of results when experimental data are used. This book presents a comprehensive study of efficient methods for solving inverse thermal problems.
