Chapter Four 2D Steady State Conduction Examples Part II Prepared By: Dawit M.
Outline Example 1: Use of Finite Difference Equation by Energy Method (with volumetric heat generation and no convection) Example 2: Use of Finite Difference Equation (with convection and no internal heat generation)
Example 1: Use of Finite Difference Equation by Energy Method (with volumetric heat generation and no convection) 1. Steady-state temperatures (K) at three nodal points of a long rectangular rod are as shown. The rod experiences a uniform volumetric generation rate of 5 (10)7 W/m3 and has a thermal conductivity of 20W/m K. Two of its sides are maintained at a constant temperature of 300 K, while the others are insulated.
Contd (a) Determine the temperatures at nodes 1, 2, and 3. (b) Calculate the heat transfer rate per unit length (W/m) from the rod using the nodal temperatures. Compare this result with the heat rate calculated from knowledge of the volumetric generation rate and the rod dimensions.
Example 2: Use of Finite Difference Equation (with convection and no internal heat generation) 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 300K and a convection coefficient of 50W/m2.K. 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. (a) Beginning with properly defined control volumes, derive the finite- difference equations for nodes 2, 4, and 7 and determine the temperatures T2, T4, and T7 (K). (b) Calculate the heat loss per unit length from the channel.
