To simulate a steady-state heat transfer with conduction on the left side of the wall and convection on all the other sides in MATLAB, you can use the pdepe
function.
First, define the geometry and initial conditions. Let's assume a rectangular wall with dimensions L
and W
:
main.m55 chars3 lines
Define the thermal properties of the wall, such as thermal conductivity k
and heat transfer coefficient h
:
main.m66 chars3 lines
Next, define the boundary conditions. In this case, the left side of the wall has a fixed temperature T_left
, while the other sides have a convection boundary condition:
main.m57 chars2 lines
Define the heat equation as a function:
main.m103 chars6 lines
Solve the heat equation using pdepe
:
main.m281 chars10 lines
The above code assumes that the convection boundary condition function convection_bc
is defined separately. You can define it according to your specific problem.
