There are Three Questions. Answer all of them. Assume any nomenclatures if necessary.
Marks in the Margin indicate the full marks.

1. Consider two-dimensional transient heat transfer in an L-shaped solid bar that is initially (25)
at a uniform temperature of 140°C and whose cross section is given in the figure. The
thermal conductivity and diffusivity of the body are 15 W/m.°C and 3.2x10-6 m2/s,
respectively, and heat is generated in the body at a rate of 2 x 107 W/m3. The right
surface of the body is insulated, and the bottom surface is maintained at a uniform
temperature of 140°C at all times. At time t 0, the entire top surface is subjected to
convection with ambient air at 25°C with a heat transfer coefficient of 80 W/m2·°C, and
the left surface is subjected to uniform heat flux at a rate of 8000 W/m2 . The nodal
network of the problem consists of 13 equally spaced nodes with Δx=Δy=1.5 cm. Using
the explicit method, determine the temperature for
Node 1 of the body after 3 min (if last digit of Std ID is 0).
Node 3 of the body after 6 min (if last digit of Std ID is 1).
Node 5 of the body after 9 min (if last digit of Std ID is 2).
Node 7 of the body after 12 min (if last digit of Std ID is 3).
Node 2 of the body after 15 min (if last digit of Std ID is 4).
Node 4 of the body after 19 min (if last digit of Std ID is 5).
Node 6 of the body after 21 min (if last digit of Std ID is 6).
Node 8 of the body after 24 min (if last digit of Std ID is 7).
Node 1 of the body after 27 min (if last digit of Std ID is 8).
Node 3 of the body after 30 min (if last digit of Std ID is 9).
2. Consider a long solid bar (k 28 W/m.°C and α=12 x10-6 m2 /s) of square cross section (25)
that is initially at a uniform temperature of 20°C. The cross section of the bar is 20 cm x
20 cm in size, and heat is generated in it uniformly at a rate of g = 8 x105 W/m3. All four
sides of the bar are subjected to convection to the ambient air at 30°C with a heat
transfer coefficient of h= 45 W/m2·°C. Using the implicit finite difference method with a
mesh size of Δx=Δy=10 cm, determine the centerline temperature of the bar after
1 min (Last digit of Std ID is 0)
2 min (Last digit of Std ID is 9)
3 min (Last digit of Std ID is 8)
4 min (Last digit of Std ID is 7)
5 min (Last digit of Std ID is 6)
6 min (Last digit of Std ID is 5)
7 min (Last digit of Std ID is 4)
8 min (Last digit of Std ID is 3)
9 min (Last digit of Std ID is 2)
10 min (Last digit of Std ID is 1)
3. If your last digit of Std ID is 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, Please answer the following problem (25)

We often cut a watermelon in half and put it into the freezer to cool it quickly. But
usually we forget to check on it and end up having a watermelon with a frozen layer on
the top. To avoid this potential problem a person wants to set the timer such that it will
go off when the temperature of the exposed surface of the watermelon drops to 3°C.
Consider a 30-cm-diameter spherical watermelon that is cut into two equal parts and put
into a freezer at -12°C. Initially, the entire watermelon is at a uniform temperature of
25°C, and the heat transfer coefficient on the surfaces is 30 W/m2.°C. Assuming the
watermelon to have the properties of water, determine how long it will take for the
center of the exposed cut surfaces of the watermelon to drop to 3°C.

If your last digit of Std ID is 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 Please answer the following problem

Consider a cold aluminum canned drink that is initially at a uniform temperature of 3°C
as shown in figure. The can is 12.5 cm high and has a diameter of 6 cm. If the combined
convection/radiation heat transfer coefficient between the can and the surrounding air at
25°C is 10 W/m2°C, determine how long it will take for the average temperature of the
drink to rise to 10°C. In an effort to slow down the warming of the cold drink, a person
puts the can in a perfectly fitting 1 cm thick cylindrical rubber insulation whose thermal
conductivity is k = 0.13 W/m °C. Now how long will it take for the average temperature
of the drink to rise to 10°C? Assume the top of the can is not covered.
