 1) Solve for the steady state temperature distribution within the orange

1) Solve for the steady state temperature distribution within the orange using FDM. Write your own MATLAB code to do this problem. Verify the FDM solution against the steady state solution obtained in HW#1. Use the following data: Ambient Temperature at Harvest: 26.7 .C Storage temperature, 3 C Radius of the flesh = 0.033 m Heat production due to respiration = 4.71 + 3.55 * Temperature (C), J/(s-m') Fruit and rind density = 998 kg/m Sp. heat of fruit and rind = 3900 J/kg/C Thermal conductivity of fruit = 0.47 W/m/'C Convection heat transfer coef. at the rind surface = 6 W/m /C
