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 directly calculating temperatures at indicated points in the bar using a grid size of 1 cm and given boundary temperatures. Students are asked to write a Matlab code to solve it. The second assignment involves the same bar and conditions but hints that the problem has symmetry that can be used to simplify the calculation.

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
section is given in the figure. The measured temperatures at selected points on the
outer surfaces are as 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. Hint: Take advantage of symmetry.
