1. A composite bar made of two materials A and B (kA =200 Wm K and kB = 300 Wm K.) is
shown in Fig. 1. Assume 1-D steady state heat transfer with uniform heat generation (S
-3
=1200Wm ) in this bar subject to the following two boundary conditions.

Fig. 1

Using FDM, FEM, and FVM find the temperatures at x = 0, L/4, L/2, 3L/4. [10 marks]

Also, write a MATLAB code to find the temperature field within the computational domain such
that it is made up of 100 sub-domains (nodes/elements/CVs). [10 marks]

2. Using FDM and FVM; determine the temperature (T) at the interior nodes of the
computational domain (1m  1m) shown in Fig.2, composed of of nine equally sized squares.
Here, the temperatures along the boundaries are known. Assume 2-D steady state heat transfer
with no heat generation. [10 marks]

Also, write a MATLAB code to find the temperature field within the computational domain such
that it is made up of 100 sub-domains (nodes/elements/CVs). [10 marks]
