Simulação do processo de transferência de calor não linear condução-radiação por meio de um esquema linear em diferenças finitas.

Abstract

In this work the nonlinear conduction-radiation heat transfer process is considered under a plane two dimensional assumption and simulated by means of a finite difference linear scheme. The original problem is regarded as the limit (which always exists) of a sequence of linear problems like the conduction-convection ones. Such a limit is reached in an easy way by means of standard procedures, available for any undergraduate engineering student, allowing the employment of more realistic hypotheses, since the mathematical complexities are not a constraint for simulating the elliptic partial differential equation. This work solved the problem of heat conduction in steady state conditions on a plate with convective and radioactive contour using MatLab software, it is noteworthy that the same methodology is applicable to more complex geometries.
