Mechanical Engineering Department Sheet (5)
1. Consider steady two-dimensional heat transfer in a long solid body whose cross section is given in the
figure. The temperatures at the selected nodes and the thermal conditions on the boundaries are as shown.
The thermal conductivity of the body is k = 180 W m ℃. Using the finite difference method with a mesh size
of ∆x = ∆y = 10 cm, determine the temperatures at nodes 1, 2, 3, and 4.

2. Consider the square channel shown in the sketch operating


under steady state conditions. The inner surface of the
channel is at a uniform temperature of 600 K, while the
outer surface is exposed to convection with a fluid at 300 K
and a convection coefficient of 50 W/m2 ℃. From a
symmetrical element of the channel, a two dimensional grid
has been constructed and the nodes labeled. The
temperatures for nodes 1, 3, 6, 8 and 9 are identified.
Determine the temperature T2 , T4 and T7 .

3. A long bar of rectangular cross section is 60 mm by 90 mm on a side and has thermal


conductivity of 1 W/m ℃. One surface is exposed to a convection process with air at
100℃ and a convection coefficient of 100 W/m2 ℃, while the remaining surfaces are
maintained at 50℃.
a) Derive the difference equations for unknown nodes
b) Determine the unknown nodal temperatures and the heat rate per unit length
normal to the page into the bar from the air using Gauss-Seidel method with
relative error of 0.02, with using a grid spacing of 30 mm.

4. Heat conduction through a long L-shaped solid bar with specified boundary
conditions is considered.
a) Derive the difference equations for unknown nodes
b) Determine the unknown nodal temperatures using Gauss-Seidel method
with relative error of 0.02. Consider the initial value for all nodes
equals 120℃.
Where q = 4 ∗ 106 W m3 , q" = 6000 W m2 , L = 0.15 m, k = 35 W m ℃, h =
50 W m2 ℃, and T∞ = 25℃.

5. The top and bottom surfaces of an L-shaped long solid bar are
maintained at specified temperatures while the left surface is
insulated and the remaining 3 surfaces are subjected to convection.
Heat transfer through the bar is given to be steady and two-
dimensional and there is no heat generation within the bar. The
thermal conductivity is given to be k = 12 W m ℃, and the nodal
spacing is given to be x = 2y = 0.1 m. Where h = 30 W m2 ℃, and
T∞ = 25℃. Obtain the finite difference formulation of the problem and
determine the unknown nodal temperatures. Consider the initial value
for all nodes equals 70℃.
