Problem Set No.

#1 The fin shown in the Figure is insulated on the perimeter. The left end has a constant temperature of

1000C. A positive heat flux of = 5000 /2 acts on the right end. Let = 6 , and cross-
sectional = 0.1 2 . Determine the temperatures at L/4, L/2, 3L/4, and L, where L= 0.4m.

T Q

#2 : A typical steady-state problem.

A thin steel plate is 10 x 20 cm rectangle. Using the following boundary conditions, what are the
steady-state temperatures at 21 interior points? For steel, k = 0.16 cal/sec-cm2.0C/cm.

Boundary conditions;

u(x,0) = 0; u(x,10) = 50; u(0,y) = 0; u(20,y) = 100.

Sketch of the boundary conditions:

T=500C

T=00C T=1000C

T=00C

Divide the plate into 4 x 8 grids to obtain the required interior points.
