Prof. Pramod Maurya AP, SCOE, KHARGHAR 3. BOUNDARY AND INITIAL CONDITIONS 6 The mathematical expressions of the thermal conditions at the boundaries are called the boundary conditions. The temperature at any point on the wall at a specified time also depends on the condition of the wall at the beginning of the heat conduction process. Such a condition, which is usually specified at time t = 0, is called the initial condition.

Prof. Pramod Maurya AP, SCOE, KHARGHAR 6. THERMAL CONTACT RESISTANCE 11 In reality, a surface is microscopically rough no matter how smooth it appears to be. An interface contain numerous air gaps of varying sizes that act as insulation because of the low thermal conductivity of air Thus, an interface offers some resistance to heat transfer, and this resistance per unit interface area is called the thermal contact resistance, Rc
