Project Theme 4: Insulated bar
A metal bar has a cross section of 840mm^(2). The length of the bar is 1.06m . The bar is heated from one of its ends using the heating rate of 6.2W . Simultaneously, the other end of the bar is maintained at a constant temperature T=56\deg C. Determine the temperature distribution within the metal bar. The thermal conductivity of the metal bar is 52[(W)/(m\deg C)]. Determine the temperature distribution using analytical calculations or computer software (Excel, Matlab). Draw a graph showing the temperature distribution as a function of distance x^(2) q(x)= -k(dT(x))/(dx). Now the heat quantity Q[W] flowing through the bar becomes Q=qA=-kA(dT(x))/(dx)
Above, ,k is thermal conductivity k(W)/(m\deg C)
A is the surface are of cross section [m]
