A large plate of stainless steel with thickness of 5 cm and thermal conductivity of k = 15W/ m-^oC is subjected to an internal uniform heat generation throughout the plate at constant rate of Q = 10 ? 10^6?W/m³. One side of the plate is maintained at 0 ^oC by ice water, and the other side is subjected to convection to an environment at T_? = 35 ^oC, with heat transfer coefficient h = 40W/m²-^oC, as shown in the following figure. Use two elements in a finite element model to estimate the temperatures at each surface and in the middle of the plate?s thickness. Assume a one-dimensional heat transfer through the plate.
