A thin circular disk is subjected to induction heating from a coil the effect of which is to provide a uniform heat generation within a ring section as shown. Convection occurs at the upper surface, while the lower surface is well insulated.


(a) Derive the transient, finite-difference equation for node m, which is within the region subjected to induction heating.

(b) On T – r coordinates sketch, in a qualitative manner the steady-state temperature distribution, identifying important features.
