Can I get reflections from a lumped circuit model of a transmission line made out of just Rs and Cs? If so, I can probably do the same in the thermal world. Can I get reflections in a thermal context? Bruce's URLs say yes, but my math is rusty enough that I can't quickly understand what's going on. If a thermal problem can generate reflections, does that mean it also has something corresponding to inductance? If so, what is it? It's possible that the key idea is time-delay. In the electrical world, a delay is a transmission line which has both C and L. I'm not sure what the one-dimensional equivalent in the thermal world is. What's the speed-of-light equivalent in the thermal world? -- These are my opinions, not necessarily my employer's.
