    Unsteady heat conduction occurs when there is an abrupt change in the surface temperature of a body, causing its temperature to vary with time as it transitions to a new steady state equilibrium temperature. The temperature of the body is calculated using formulas that consider the volume, specific heat, density, thermal conductivity, convective heat transfer coefficient, initial temperature, and surrounding temperature. The characteristic length is used to determine the Fourier number, which along with the Biot number, allows the temperature of a body in unsteady state to be calculated at any given time if the Biot number is less than 0.1.
