To create a steady-state heat transfer simulation with conduction on the left side of the wall and convection from air at a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius on all other sides, you can use MATLAB's built-in Partial Differential Equation Toolbox.
Here is a sample code to set up and solve the heat transfer problem:
main.m1073 chars41 lines
This code uses a finite difference method to solve the heat transfer equation. It defines the temperature matrix as a grid, sets the initial and boundary conditions, and iteratively updates the temperature values using the finite difference equations. Finally, it plots the temperature distribution using the surf
function.
You can customize the code by changing the values of thermal conductivity (k
), convective heat transfer coefficient (h
), and air temperature (Ta
), as well as the dimensions of the wall (L
), and the number of grid points (nx
and ny
) to suit your specific problem.
Remember to have the Partial Differential Equation Toolbox installed in MATLAB for this code to work.
