- Suppose that a finite-difference solution has been obtained for the temperature T, near but not at an adiabatic boundary. in most instances, it would be necessary or desirable to evaluate the temperature at the boundary point itself. for this case of an adiabatic boundary, develop an expression for the temperature at the boundary T1, in the terms of temperatures at neighbouring points T2, T3, etc, by assuming that the temperature distribution in the neighbourhood of the boundary is a straight line a second-degree polynomial a cubic polynomial (you only need to indicate how you would derive this one) indicate the order of T.E in each of the above approximations used to evaluate T1arrow_forwardA hollow aluminum sphere, with an electrical heater in the center, is used in tests to determine the thermal conductivity of insulating materials. The inner and outer radii of the sphere are o.18 and o.21 m, respectively, and testing is done under steady-state conditions with the inner surface of the aluminum maintained at 250°C. In a particular test, a spherical shell of insulation is cast on the outer surface of the sphere to a thickness of o.15 m. The system is in a room for which the air temperature is 20°C and the convection coefficient at the outer surface of the insulation is 30 W/m2. K.
