Steady State to Transient Response correlations?

I have worked out a thermal model to predict steady state (SS) temperature distribution for a TEFC machine based on already existing models created for example by P.H.Mellor. I would like to estimate the transient response, or at least the max winding temperature under a higher transient load, without the complexity of transient thermal models that involve cappacitances, etc. Basically, I am looking for an approximate estimation method of the transient temp resonse, based on a steady state response. I don't even know if such a model exists, but if there are such correlations out there I would greatly appreciate your guys pointing me to the right source. In particular, I would like to be able to approximate the following scenario.
From the steady state model I can see how the temp rises with increasing heat loss, and I would like to predict how that temp change correlates to the same increase to heat loss during a transient mode. For example at SS, 20kW load, temp = 100C, at SS, 30kW load, temp = 120C. Now my questions is, using same temp diff, will the load increase under transient response be the same? I hope this is somewhat clear and understandable. Any help would be appreciated.

Best Regards to all,

I think you're asking for the impossible. The thermal capacitances are what make transient problem transient.

There are some diagrams developed for special geometries such as rods slabs etc for trancient heat conduction.

These are as far as i know most suited for subjects with a uniform temperature distrubtion suddenly subjected to temperature change e.g. a red-hot metal rod beeing quenched.

Many theory books on the subject of heat transmission will get around to this subject - allthouh i couldnt find it in Perry.

Best regards
