Here is the only commercially published work to deal with the engineering problem of determining surface heat flux and temperature history based on interior temperature measurements. Provides the analytical techniques needed to arrive at otherwise difficult solutions, summarizing the findings of the last ten years. Topics include the steady state solution, Duhamel's Theorem, ill-posed problems, single future time step, and more.
