Consider the fuel element of Example 5.9. Initially, the element is at a uniform temperature of 250°C with no heat generation. Suddenly, the element is inserted into the reactor core causing a uniform volumetric heat generation rate of q = 108 W/m3. The surfaces are convectively cooled with T∞ = 250°C and h = 1100 W/m2 ∙ K. Using the explicit method with a space increment of 2 mm, determine the temperature distribution 1.5 s after the element is inserted into the core.
