Features of the Temperature Distribution in Flat Conductors with Different Configurations

Resumo

Steady-state temperature distributions in flat conductors of different configurations with direct electric current flowing inside them are investigated. It is shown that the temperature distributions are determined not only by the properties of a material, but also by the characteristic dimensions of a conductor and do not necessarily correlate with the current distributions. Criteria for the similarity between temperature distributions in geometrically identical flat conductors are established.
