We King Adjustable Base consider an axisymmetric inverse heat conduction problem of determining the surface temperature from a fixed location inside a cylinder.This problem is ill-posed; the solution (if it exists) does not depend continuously on the data.A special project method—dual least squares method generated by the family of Shannon wa

Pressurized fluid pipelines are among the most crucial components in industrial settings.Operating under high pressure leads to pipeline susceptibility to cracking, rupture, and significant damage.Monitoring the condition and predicting the remaining useful life before the failure Necklaces of pressurized pipes are essential for informed and timely
