Question: Problem 2 ( 2 5 pts ) . During a thermal treatment, a steel sphere of radius R is initially heated to the temperature T

Problem 2(25 pts). During a thermal treatment, a steel sphere of radius R is initially
heated to the temperature T0. The sphere is then quenched in water at temperature TwT(t)ddt([ internal ],[ energy ],[of the sphere ])=([ heat ],[ escaping ],[ the sphere ])q=-h(T-Tw)hcT(t)dTdt=f(T,t)Tw.
The amount of water is sufficient to assume that its temperature Tw remains constant during
the quenching process.
(a)[5pts] The temperature T(t)of the sphere during the quenching process is governed by
the energy balance equation
ddt([ internal ],[ energy ],[of the sphere ])=([ heat ],[ escaping ],[ the sphere ])
Assume that the heat escaping a unit area of the sphere follows the law of convection,
that isq=-h(T-Tw), where his the constant heat transfer coefficient. Letting cbe
the constant heat capacity of the sphere, derive an ODE for T(t)in the form
dTdt=f(T,t)
(b)[7pts] Find the analytical solution of the ODE found in(a).
(c)[7pts] Write pseudo-code that implements the ODE found in(a) using the following
methods. For each method specify ifitis explicitimplicit and singlemulti-step.
explicit Euler method
implicit Euler method
AM1
BDF2
(d)[3pts] Explain the difference between implicit and explicit methods. What are advan-
tages and disadvantages of the two types of methods?
(e)[3pts] Explain the difference between single-step and multi-step integration methods.
List examples of explicit and implicit multistep methods.
