2 D Steady State Conduction

The document discusses numerical techniques for solving complex heat transfer problems, specifically finite-difference analysis. It describes how the finite-difference technique approximates temperatures at discrete nodal points on a surface and uses algebraic expressions to define relationships between adjacent nodes. Examples are provided of deriving finite-difference equations for 2D steady-state conduction problems by applying the energy balance method to control volumes around each nodal point. Homework problems are assigned involving applying these techniques to additional examples.

Numerical methods
• Analytical solutions that allow for the determination of the exact temperature
distribution are only available for limited ideal cases.
• Graphical solutions have been used to gain an insight into complex heat
transfer problems, where analytical solutions are not available, but they have
limited accuracy and are primarily used for two-dimensional problems.
• Advances in numerical computing now allow for complex heat transfer
problems to be solved rapidly on computers, i.e., "numerical techniques“.
• Current numerical techniques include: finite-difference analysis; finite element
analysis (FEA); and finite-volume analysis.
• In general, these techniques are routinely used to solve problems in heat
transfer, fluid dynamics, stress analysis, electrostatics and magnetics, etc.
• Use of finite-difference analysis to solve conduction heat transfer problems.

• Local heat flux is a vector perpendicular to isothermal lines.
• Heat flow lines represents the direction of heat flux vectors.
• Heat flow lines refers to adiabats.
• Appropriate form of the heat equation for two-dimensional steady state
case with no heat generation

Finite-difference Analysis
• Numerical techniques result in an approximate solution, however
the error can be made very small.
• Properties (e.g., temperature) are determined at discrete points in the
region of interest-these are referred to as nodal points or nodes.

Finite-difference Analysis
Consider the finite-difference technique for 2-D conduction heat transfer:
• In this case each node represents the temperature of a point on the surface
being considered.
• The temperature at the node represents the average temperature of that
region of the surface.
• Algebraic expressions are used to define the relationship between adjacent
nodes on the surface –usually the boundary conditions are specified.
• By increasing the number of nodes on the surface being considered it is
possible to increase the spatial resolution of the solution and to potentially
increase the accuracy of the numerical solution, however this increases the
number of calculation is required to obtain a solution to the problem.

Problem: 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 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 .
(b) Calculate the heat loss per unit length from the channel.
