To solve this problem, we can use the following MATLAB code:
% Define the parameters L = 1; % length (m) W = 0.5; % width (m) T1 = 100; % temperature at one end (°C) T2 = 0; % temperature at the other end (°C) k = 50; % thermal conductivity (W/m°C) % Create a meshgrid x = linspace(0, L, 100); y = linspace(0, W, 100); [X, Y] = meshgrid(x, y); % Calculate the temperature distribution T = T1 + (T2 - T1) * X / L; % Plot the temperature distribution contourf(X, Y, T); xlabel('Distance (m)'); ylabel('Width (m)'); title('Temperature Distribution (°C)'); This code creates a 2D temperature distribution plot, showing the steady-state heat conduction in the rectangular plate. Consider a fluid with a temperature of 20°C flowing over a flat plate with a temperature of 100°C. The fluid has a velocity of 1 m/s and a thermal diffusivity of 0.01 m²/s.
