Consider a uranium nuclear fuel element (\(k = 35 \, \text{W/m} \cdot \text{K}\), \(\rho = 19,070 \, \text{kg/m}^3\), and \(c_p = 5,116 \, \text{J/kg} \cdot \text{K}\)) of radius 10 cm that experiences a volumetric heat generation at a rate of \(4 \times 10^5 \, \text{W/m}^3\) because of the nuclear fission reaction. The nuclear fuel element initially at a temperature of 500°C is enclosed inside a cladding made of stainless steel material (\(k = 15 \, \text{W/m} \cdot \text{K}\), \(\rho = 8,055 \, \text{kg/m}^3\), and \(c_p = 480 \, \text{J/kg} \cdot \text{K}\)) of thickness 4 cm. The fuel element is cooled by passing pressurized heavy water over the cladding surface. The pressurized water has a bulk temperature of 50°C and the convective heat transfer coefficient is 1000 \(\text{W/m}^2 \cdot \text{K}\). Assuming one dimensional transient heat conduction in Cartesian coordinates, determine the temperature at node 7 using the EES software considering both the fuel rod and the cladding after 10, 20, and 30 min. Use implicit finite difference formulation with a uniform mesh size of 2 cm and time step of 1 min.

**Diagram Explanation:**
- The diagram depicts a cross-sectional view of the nuclear fuel rod and cladding.
- Nodes are marked from 1 to 7, indicating points along the fuel rod and the cladding.
- Node 7 is located at the cladding edge where the temperature needs to be determined.
- The external environment around the cladding has parameters \(h = 1000 \, \text{W/m}^2 \cdot \text{K}\) (convective heat transfer coefficient) and \(T_{\infty} = 50°C\).

**Temperature at node 7:**
- Temperature at node 7 after 10 min = _____ °C.
- Temperature at node 7 after 20 min = _____ °C.
- Temperature at node 7
