Test No. VT03 For a cylinder loaded with a prescribed
heat flux, find the temperature at the boundary between where flux is applied and the rest of
the side surface.
Definition
Figure 1.
A cylinder is loaded with a prescribed heat flux along a strip on side surface (see Figure 1). The bottom is maintained
at zero temperature and the top and the rest of side surface are insulated. You must find
the temperature at the boundary between the strip and the rest of the side surface (point A
in Figure 1).
The cylinder is 50 mm in height with a 200 mm diameter. The heat flux strip is 20 mm in
width.
The material properties are:
