FIG. 5. Surface representing the Fréchet kernel F*(X,Y,{tau}) as a function of X and Y for X ≥ 0 at dimensionless time {tau} = 0.25. The kernel F*(X,Y,1/4) is for a dual-probe-heat-pulse sensor with heater probe at (X,Y) = (–1/2,0) and temperature probe at (X,Y) = (1/2,0). The vertical line shows the location of the temperature probe at (X,Y) = (1/2,0). Results are from Eq. [34]. The dimensionless kernel is negative everywhere, and there is no singularity at (X,Y) = (1/2,0).
