The document discusses lumped parameter analysis for modeling unsteady heat transfer. Lumped parameter analysis can be used when the Biot number is less than 0.1, indicating the internal resistance to heat transfer is negligible. Under these conditions, the body can be treated as isothermal and the temperature at any point depends only on time. The governing equation and its solution are presented, allowing the temperature to be determined at a given time or the time required to reach a specified temperature. The lumped parameter method models transient heat transfer without considering variations in temperature within the solid.
