Transcribed Image Text:**Two-Dimensional Transient Analysis**
*Problem Statement:*
Consider a 60-mm long aluminum fin with a thermal conductivity \( k = 186 \, \frac{W}{mK} \) and a thickness of 1 mm (into the paper). The width of the fin is 45 mm. The aluminum is exposed to air with an ambient temperature of \( T_f = 15^\circ C \) and a convective heat transfer coefficient \( h = 50 \, \frac{W}{m^2K} \). The fin is used to remove heat from a surface with a temperature \( T_b = 80^\circ C \) on the left side. The convection perpendicular to the paper is not considered.
*Diagram Explanation:*
The schematic diagram shows a grid with nodes labeled 1 to 20, representing discrete sections of the fin. The nodes at \( T = 80^\circ C \) are highlighted along the left boundary (nodes 1, 6, 11, 16), while the rest are subject to convection. The dimensions are marked: 60 mm along the length and 45 mm along the width. Convective effects are highlighted around the periphery of the fin.
*Analysis Task:*
Conduct a transient thermal analysis using implicit or explicit methods to determine the temperature distribution until steady state. Select an appropriate time step for explicit method stability. Assume the following properties: density \( \rho = 2500 \, \frac{kg}{m^3} \) and specific heat capacity \( C_p = 900 \, \frac{J}{kgK} \). Initially, the entire fin is at \( 25^\circ C \), except nodes 1, 6, 11, and 16 which remain at \( 80^\circ C \) from \( t = 0 \) seconds.
*Tasks:*
a. Show the discretization for node 17.
b. Show the discretization for node 12.
c. Show the discretization for node 20.
d. Show the discretization for node 15.
e. Provide a script (EES or Matlab) to solve the problem, explaining the logic and ensuring the use of symmetry.
f. Provide a table of temperatures for several time stamps.
*Educational Notes:*
This exercise illustrates the transient heat conduction problem in two dimensions, commonly encountered in thermal management systems. Understanding the discretization process and
