In ref. 1 an analytical solution was given for the one-dimensional distribution of temperature in a web of an idealised, symmetric, multi-cell wing structure when symmetrically heated. It was assumed that the convective heat transfer coefficient, h, was constant, but the adiabatic wall temperature variation was assumed to be either an instantaneous or a linear function of time.
The purpose of the present paper is to indicate the application of an alternative, approximate method of heat flow analysis due to Biot and to show thereby how the usefulness of the results in ref. 1 can be extended by eliminating the assumption therein that the skin temperature was uniform at any given time. The notation of ref. 1 is used with additions as defined in the paper.
