Transcribed Image Text:22. Develop an algorithm, along with the program (preferably in python), to find the
temperature distribution in the example below
NOTE: Use the explicit finite differences method
EXAMPLE 5.9
A fuel element of a nuclear reactor is in the shape of a plane wall of thickness
2L = 20 mm and is convectively cooled at both surfaces, with h = 1100 W/m². K
and T=250°C. At normal operating power, heat is generated uniformly within the
element at a volumetric rate of q₁ = 107 W/m³. A departure from the steady-state
conditions associated with normal operation will occur if there is a change in the
generation rate. Consider a sudden change to q₂ = 2 × 107 W/m³, and use the
explicit finite-difference method to determine the fuel element temperature distribu-
tion after 1.5 s. The fuel element thermal properties are k = 30 W/m . K and a =
5 × 10-6 m²/s.

Metal castings can sometimes develop a gap between the casting and mold as the molten metal hardens. The result can be a substantially altered cooling process. Set up a simple heat-transfer model that would let you look at the effect of the gap on the cooling process. Assume the casting and mold are square in shape, with an air gap of thickness das shown in the figure. The mold sits in some ambient room temperature. State clearly all assumptions and develop a corresponding model of the heat transfer problem. Assuming that the casting is aluminum, the mold is diatomaceous earth and the gap is filled with air, see if you can arrive at and summarize some insight into the effect of the gap and its size on the heat transfer process.arrow_forward2) Design a chain link (meaning find its diameter) made out of a ductile cast iron which needs to operate in a furnace that is used to fire ceramic bricks.
