Assignment 2

This document provides instructions for two assignments involving calculating temperatures at points in a solid bar using finite difference methods. The first assignment involves determining temperatures at points in a rectangular bar where temperatures on the surfaces are given, using a grid size of 1cm and accounting for a thermal conductivity of 20 W/m°C. The second assignment involves the same bar and conditions but takes advantage of the bar's symmetry to simplify the calculation. Both assignments require writing MATLAB code to solve the problems.

Assignment 2

#1. Consider steady two-dimensional heat transfer in a long solid bar whose cross
section is given in the figure. The measured temperatures at selected points of the
outer surfaces areas shown. The thermal conductivity of the body is k =20 W/m ·
°C, and there is no heat generation. Using the finite difference method with a mesh
size of Δx =Δy =1.0 cm, determine the temperatures at the indicated points in the
medium. Writer a Matlab code.

#2. Consider steady two-dimensional heat transfer in a long solid bar whose cross
