Question: Consider steady two dimensional heat transfer in a long solid body whose cross section is given in the figure. The temperatures at the selected nodes

Consider steady two dimensional heat transfer in a long solid body whose cross section is given in the figure. The temperatures at the selected nodes and the thermal conditions on the boundaries are as shown. Thermal conductivity of the body is \(180\mathrm{~W}/\mathrm{mK}\) and heat is generated in the body uniformly at a rate of \(10^{7}\mathrm{~W}/\mathrm{m}^{3}\). Using the finite difference method with a mesh size of 10 cm , determine (a) the temperatures at nodes \(1,2,3\), and 4 and (b) the rate of the heat loss from the top surface through a 1 m -long section of the body.
