Problem 4: Using your feedback and advice but after the fact, making you a guinea pig...
A rigid, cylindrical copper bar with length \( L=2\mathrm{~m}\) and diameter \(=0.1\mathrm{~m}\) is perfectly insulated on its curved surface. (Think of it kind of like an electrical wire, except with a much larger diameter and not at all flexible.)
A) One end is connected to a surface held at a fixed temperature of 293 K . The other end is connected to a surface held at a fixed temperature of 325 K . Use the finite difference method to calculate and plot the temperature profile of the bar.
B) One end remains connected to the 293 K surface, but the other end is connected to a surface that is programmed to emit a fixed heat flux of \(4000\mathrm{~W}/\mathrm{m}^{2}\). Use the finite difference method to calculate and plot the temperature profile of the bar.
C) Imagine you now strip the insulation off of the cylindrical bar, and connect only one side to the surface being held at 293 K . It is exposed to air at 277 K with a convective heat transfer coefficient of \( h=20\mathrm{~W}/\left(\mathrm{m}^{2}\mathrm{k}\right)\). If you model the system as only having heat transfer in one direction (the axial direction), use the finite difference method to find the temperature profile in the bar. (Make sure you use enough points in your finite difference approximation method to make the result be reasonable.)
Please submit your code, an indication of what equations you used, and the plots you generated.
