Heat Front Propagation and Temperature Calculation

1. The document discusses heat transfer through conduction and convection during steam propagation through a reservoir. 2. It provides an equation to calculate average temperature using arithmetic mean that accounts for the swept area heated by steam and the unswept area not yet reached. 3. The equation relates average temperature to initial temperature, swept area temperature over time from a thermal model, and the radius and width of the swept and unswept areas.

ASSUMPTION:

1. The conductive heat front propagates at nearly same speed as the heat carrying medium
(steam)


Conductive heat front

Convective heat front

If Average temperature is to be calculated using arithmetic mean, then:

= +

2 = (2 2 ) + 2

2 2
= (1 ( ) ) + ( )

2 2
= (1 ( ) ) + ( ) ()

Where () is obtained from the Thermal model, as a function of time,
