Abstract

Characteristic features of the establishment of thermal balance between the phases are identified for an arbitrary P-component composite and the time constant for temperature equalization is calculated. An analysis is made to ascertain how the size distribution of the impurity phase influences the time behavior of the composite temperature. A Laplace transformation is used to find a general expression for δT 0(t) and the specific form of this functional dependence is calculated when the particles of the finely dispersed phase have a Poisson distribution.
