Question:

Consider steady one-dimensional heat conduction in a plane wall with variable heat generation and constant thermal conductivity. The nodal network of the medium consists of nodes 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 with a uniform nodal spacing of Δx. Using the finite difference form of the first derivative (not the energy balance approach), obtain the finite difference formulation of the boundary nodes for the case of uniform heat flux q̇0 at the left boundary (node 0) and convection at the right boundary (node 4) with a convection coefficient of h and an ambient temperature of T.
