While direct measurement of heat Received 26 June 2015 flux is not a simple task and sometimes is not even possible, measuring temperature is much easier and Received in revised form 1 August 2015 viable in a variety of applications. Heat flux estimation using temperature measurement data requires Accepted 7 August 2015 solving inverse heat conduction problems (IHCP’s). In the present paper, a real-time solution for a Available online 3 September 2015 two-dimensional inverse heat conduction problem is presented. It is assumed that multiple unknown heat fluxes are applied at the bottom of a plate (y = 0) and the plate is insulated over other surfaces. Keyw
