PROJECT

Solve the 3-dimensional, steady state heat transfer problem for a cartesian system either numerically or analytically.

- If you use the numerical method, write a computer code using the finite difference method or finite volume method. You can choose any languages, such as Fortran, C++, and MATLAB.

Apply your code to solve for the temperature distribution of a solid cuboid as shown below.

Explore at least 3 different combinations of thermal conductivity and heat transfer coefficient to see if there is any difference for the temperature profile. Draw the temperature profile or isothermal diagram.

- If you choose to solve it analytically, follow the approach introduced in Chapter 4, or other reference books on Methods of Mathematical Physics.

Your report should include, but not limited to:

1) a description of the algorithm/method,

2) the code (numerical), or the derivation (analytically),

3) the grid size information, (if applicable)

4) the resultant temperature profile or isothermal diagram for 3 different k - h combinations.

5) References.
