Abstract
In using lumped resistance‐capacitance circuits for studying heat conduction problems the influence of number and size of lumps is important. Several methods of lumping are conceivable for representation of cylindrical or spherical bodies and results of comparative tests show that equal geometrical size of lumps is most accurate. In the various lumps resistance and capacitance have to be in certain definite relationships, which are established in the paper. The influence of number of lumps is also investigated.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
