1D generalized dual-phase lag equation. Sensitivity analysis with respect to the porosity

Thermal processes occurring in the heated tissue are described by the 1D generalized dual-phase lag equation supplemented by appropriate boundary and initial conditions. Using the sensitivity analysis method, the additional problem connected with the porosity is formulated. Both problems are solved by means of the explicit scheme of the finite difference method. In this way it is possible to estimate the temperature changes due to the perturbation of porosity. In the final part of the paper, the example of computation is shown and the conclusions are formulated.
