Question: A long metal bar has a rectangular cross section. There is no volumetric heat generation and the material has constant properties. The rectangular cross section

A long metal bar has a rectangular cross section. There is no volumetric heat generation and the material has constant properties. The rectangular cross section has an aspect ratio of 1.5 : it is 1.5 times longer in the \( x \) direction than in the \( y \) direction. The domain is divided into a total of 12 equally-spaced nodes. The upper surface is maintained at a constant temperature of 650 K , the left and lower surfaces are both maintained at a temperature of 300 K , and the right surface is maintained at a temperature of 455 K . Find the temperatures of the two internal nodes under steady conditions. Node numbering is such that the node in the bottom left corner is (1,1) so the two nodes of interest are (2,2) and (3,2). Give your answer to the nearest whole number in Kelvin (i.e. if your answer is 52.4, type 52 into the box).
