Consider steady, two-dimensional, conduction with heat generation in the rectangular plate shown in
Figure. The boundaries of the domain are maintained at constant temperatures as indicated, that is the
left and right-walls OA and BC are at a temperature of 50\deg C, the bottom wall OC is at a temperature of
100\deg C, and the top wall is at a temperature of 200\deg C. There is a spatially dependent volumetric heat
generation given by. q =5000(1+(x/x)+(y/2y)) W/m^3. The grid spacing is uniform in each of the
directions and it is equal to x=1m and y =0.5m. The thermal conductivity of the plate is k =10 W/(m
K). Answer the following sub-questions:
(a) Using finite-difference method obtain an algebraic equation for temperature at any interior point.
(b) Obtain the discrete temperature equations for nodes 1,2,3 and 4.
(c) Using an initial guess of 400\deg C perform 4 iterations of the Gauss-Seidel method and present your
results in a tabular form
