Consider a large uranium plate of thickness 4 cm an thermal conductivity of 28 W/(m.K) in which heat generation is uniform at a constant rate of 5 x 106. One side of the plate is maintained at 0°C while the other side is subjected to the convection environment at 20°C with a heat transfer coefficient of 50 W/(m²K). Determine the temperature of exposed surfaces analytically. Consider a total of six nodes in the above problem and determine exposed surface temperatures using the finite difference method.
