Question: Semi - infinite solid ( constant Ts ) A highway made of asphalt ( = 2 1 1 5 k g m 3 , c

Semi-infinite solid (constant Ts)
A highway made of asphalt (=2115kgm3,cp=920Jkg*K, and k=0.062Wm*K) is initially at a uniform temperature of 55C. Suddenly the highway surface temperature is r to 25C by rain. Determine the temperature at the depth of 3 cm from the highway surface the heat flux transferred from the highway after 60 minutes. Assume the highway surface temperature is maintained at 25C.
Assumptions 1 The highway is treated as semi-infinite solid. 2 Thermal properties are con Heat transfer by radiation is negligible.
(25 points) A large plane wall with a constant thermal conductivity k and uniform heat generation egen as shown in the figure is subjected to convection on the right side. The temperature on the left side is maintained at a temperature T0. We solve this problem numerically using the finite difference formulation. Below is the linear system that represents the problem when x=0.1m,k=4.5Wm-K,egen=2000Wm3,T0=10C,T=2C, and h=125Wm2-K. Please fill in blanks (a) through (e) and show your work.
