Answer of Assignment

The document discusses various numerical schemes for solving the unsteady heat conduction equation including explicit, Crank-Nicolson, and implicit schemes. It also presents three problems analyzing heat transfer in one-dimensional and two-dimensional domains. The problems vary parameters like time step size and grid spacing to analyze their effects on the temperature profiles calculated over time.

Answer to Assignment no.

2 Algorithm for unsteady state heat conduction equation: Start Divide the domain with number of control volumes Discretized general form of the governing equation Initialize T Write the discretized equation for all grid points Set Told = T Step forward in time, t = t + t Calculate source terms

NO

Solve for T NO Convergence YES Is t tlast YES Stop

Problem 1: Grid Details: Number of grid points taking x = 0.02 m is 100 Middle length temperature reaches 100 C at 0.1776 hr a. Explicit Scheme:

Legends: *- Analytical solution and solid line- Numerical solution Figure: Temperature profile using explicit scheme b. Crank Nicolson scheme (Semi implicit scheme)

Although Crank Nicolson is unconditionally stable in mathematical sense, it may not guarantee realistic solution. To obtain realistic solution,

c. Implicit Scheme

Problem 2: Grid Details: Grid sizes x = 0.01 m

Initial condition: At t = 0; T(x,0) = -1 C Boundary condition: a. At t > 0; T(x = 0, t) = -15 C and b. At t > 0; T(x = L, t) = 20 C Where L = total length of the composite slab

Time step: As the problem is solved using implicit scheme, hence the time step will not influence the result.
