Problem Related to Cooling of a Sphere and I-Function S. S. SHRIVASTAVA and HARISH MISHRA Department of Mathematics, Govt. P.G. College, Shahdol, M. P. India ABSTRACT In this paper we present the solution to a classical problem in three dimensions, the cooling of a sphere involving I-function. The assumed symmetries in the problem will permit us to reduce the dimension of the problem to one spatial dimension and time. Keywords: I-function, H-function, initial temperature, cooling of a sphere.

1. INTRODUCTION

|arg x| < ½ BĎ€, ∀ i ∈ (1, 2, ‌, r).

The I-function of one variable is defined by Saxena1 and we will represent here in the following manner:

Given a sphere whose initial temperature depends only on the distance from the center (e.g., a constant initial temperature) and whose boundary is kept at a constant temperature, predict the temperature at any point inside the sphere at a later time. This is the problem, for example, of determining the temperature of the center of a potato that has been put in a hot oven. The reader might also conjecture that this problem is important for medical examiners who want to determine the time of an individual's death. Early researchers, notably Kelvin, used this problem to determine the age of the earth based on assumptions about its initial temperature and its temperature today.

This cooling problem may remind the reader of Newton's law of cooling, which is encountered in ordinary differential equations texts. Recall that this law states

that the rate at which a body cools is proportional to the difference of its temperature and the temperature of the environment. Quantitatively, if T = T(t) is the temperature of a body and Te is the temperature of its environment, then T '(t) = K(Te − T), where K is the constant of proportionality. But the reader should note that this law applies only in the case that the body has a uniform, homogeneous temperature. In the PDE problem we are considering, the temperature may vary radially throughout the body. In this paper, we shall make application of following modified form of the integral2:

The integral (6) can be obtained easily by making use of (5) and the definition of I-function as given in (1). 3. FORMULATE THE PROBLEM For simplicity, let us consider a sphere of radius Ď = Ď€ whose initial temperature is T0 = constant. We will assume that the boundary is held at zero degrees for all time t > 0. If u is the temperature, then in general u will depend on three spatial coordinates and time. But a little reflection shows that the temperature will depend only on the distance from the center of the sphere and on time. Evidently, the temperature u must satisfy the heat equation ut = k∆u, where k is the diffusivity and ∆ is the Laplacian. It should be clear that a spherical coordinate system , , is more appropriate than a rectangular system, and u = u(Ď , t). Because u does not depend on the angles φ and θ, the Laplacian takes on a particularly simple form: ∆

Therefore, we may formulate the model as

ut = k(uĎ Ď + uĎ ), 0

provided that Îť > 0, ω > 0, Re[ω + 2Îť min 1≤j≤m (bj/βj)] > 0, |arg z| < ½ BĎ€;

u(Ď€, t) = 0, t > 0,

where B is given in (2).

u(Ď , 0) = T0, 0

Observe that there is an implied boundary condition at Ď = 0, namely that the temperature should remain bounded. To solve problem (7) − (9) we assume u(Ď , t) = y(Ď )g(t). Substituting into the PDE and separating variables gives, following solution, which is given in3. u(Ď , t) =

On specializing the parameters, Hfunction may be reduced to G-function, Lauricella’s functions Legendre functions, Bessel functions, hypergeometric functions, Appell’s functions, Kampe de Feriet’s functions and several other higher transcendental functions. Therefore the result (12) is of general nature and may reduced to be in different forms, which will be useful in the literature on applied Mathematics and other branches.
