Project Theme 4: Insulated bar
A metal bar has a cross section of A mm². The length of the bar is B m. The bar is heated from one of
its ends using the heating rate of C W. Simultaneously, the other end of the bar is maintained at a
constant temperature T = D°C. Determine the temperature distribution within the metal bar. The
thermal conductivity of the metal bar is E [W/(m°C)]. Determine the temperature distribution using
analytical calculations or computer software (Excel, Matlab). Draw a graph showing the temperature
distribution as a function of distance x from the heated end of the bar
According to the Fourier's Law the heat flux density [W/m²] as a function of distance equals q(x) =
