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&#x20AC;, â&#x2C6;&#x20AC; i â&#x2C6;&#x2C6; (1, 2, â&#x20AC;Ś, 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
