Tutorial 1: 1D diffusion problem Unsteady State

1-D Computational Heat Conduction (CHC):

Consider a 1D Cartesian computational domain of size L=1 m, Take left hand temperature as 00C and
Right hand side temperature as 1000C (specific-heat: 500 J/Kg K, thermal-conductivity: 16.2 W/m-K.
time step size 0.1 and Number of time steps as 500,Max iteration/time step as 20.
Plot the Unsteady state temperature profiles.
