conditions. We have a laterally insulated 2-m long rod with
conductivity 10 −4 m 2 / s and T (x, 0) = 100(2x − x 2 ) , T (0,t) = 0 , T (2,t) = 0

A. Steady-state temperature in a rectangular plate (5 problems)

1. Find the steady-state temperature distribution for a semi-


infinite plate if the temperature of the bottom edge is
T = f (x) = x , the temperature of the sides is 0° and the width of
the plate is 10 cm.

width 20 cm is held at
⎧ 0° 0 < x < 10

B. Steady-State Temperature in a Cylinder

1. Find the steady-state temperature distribution in a solid


semi-infinite cylinder if the boundary temperatures are u = 0
at r = 1 and u = y = r sin θ at z = 0.

Answer is:

2. Water at 100° is flowing through a long pipe of radius r = 1


rapidly enough so that we may assume that the temperature is
100° at all points. At t = 0, the water is turned off and the
surface of the pipe is maintained at 40° from then on(neglect
wall thickness). Find the temperature distribution of the
water as a function of r and t. (Hint: you only need to
consider a cross-section of the pipe).

Answer is:
