A Two-Slab System
Result:
• T(3) = 28.4C ( off)
= 35.2C ( on)
An Optimization Problem
• Goal: to minimize T1
R1 R2
(b) As Lb increases, the influence of 100C at
x=La + Lb on T1 will decrease. So, T1
becomes cooler. After the minimal, as Lb
increases, the increasing magnitude of heat
generation surpasses the increasing distance-
related thermal resistance.
A MATLAB For Loop to Generate 999
Equations
• If there are 1001 nodes in a slab with heat
generation, we can simply generate 999
equations governing T2, T3, …, T1000 as:
for i=2:1000
a(i, i-1)=-1; a(i, i)=2;
a(i, i+1)=-1; b(i) = Qgs;

• extended surfaces
Governing Equations
qw = qe + q_conv,
where
qw = k Ac (TW – Ti)/Δx,
qe = k Ac (Ti – TE)/∆x,
q_conv = h p Δx (Ti – )
Special Case
• When h 0, the steady state fin reduces
to a steady state 1-D slab.

Question
In which case is higher? Or should in both (a)
and (b) be the same? Take ∆x = ∆y.
Answer:
(a) 4T1 – T2 = 150
- T1 + 4T2 = 0 T1 = 40C; T2 = 10C;
