Information

This function evaluates the steady-state value of finite line source solution. This solution gives the relation between the constant heat transfer rate (per unit length) injected by a line source of finite length H₁ buried at a distance D₁ from a constant temperature surface (T=0) and the average temperature raise over a line of finite length H₂ buried at a distance D₂ from the constant temperature surface. The finite line source solution is defined by:

where ΔT_1-2(t,r,H₁,D₁,H₂,D₂) is the temperature raise after a time t of constant heat injection and at a distance r from the line heat source, Q' is the heat injection rate per unit length, k_s is the soil thermal conductivity and h_FLS is the finite line source solution.

The steady-state finite line source solution is given by:
