Q1. A hot plate with an initial temperature of 0C is heated by a source 𝑞 =
500 [C/s]. The plate has a thermal diffusivity of 𝛼 = 0.5 [m2 /s]. The plate
has the following boundary conditions,
The plate has a dimension of 1m x 1m. Solve the PDE over 𝑡 ∈ [0,0.25] [s] by
two approaches. a) Explicit Method. b) ADI Scheme. Plot the thermal
contour plots in the x-y plane at time intervals of 0.05 s.
1. Explicit Method:
PSEUDOCODE:
1. Initialize Parameters:
• Set the dimensions of the domain: Lx, Ly.
• Define the maximum time 𝑡𝑚𝑎𝑥 .
• Set the step sizes: ℎ𝑥 , ℎ𝑡 .
• Calculate the number of steps in each direction: 𝑁𝑥 , 𝑁𝑦 , 𝑁𝑡 .
• Define initial temperatures and boundary conditions.
2. Set Coefficients and Conditions:
• Set coefficients for the heat equation (𝜆).
• Define parameters for Neumann boundary conditions (𝑎, 𝑞).
3. Solve Heat Equation:
• Iterate over time steps 𝑘 = 2 𝑡𝑜 𝑁𝑡 .
• Implement the finite difference method to solve the heat
equation.
• Update the temperature distribution at each time step based on
the discretized heat equation and boundary conditions.
4. Plotting:
 • Create a figure to display contour plots of temperature at
different time intervals.
• Generate subplots for specific time intervals
(t=0.05,0.10,0.15,0.20,0.25).
• Plot the temperature distribution using contourf function.
• Add titles to each subplot indicating the corresponding time.
• Add a main title for the entire figure.
5. Return Result:
• Store the final temperature distribution in TempDistribution
variable.
