Sample EXAMINATION

MATS3006/6110  Theoretical Part

1. Answer the following four questions: (15 marks)

(i) What are the main advantages and disadvantages of discretization of the governing equations through the FDM?

(ii) Define the under-relaxation factor. State its advantages and disadvantages when using a small value.

(iii) For the unsteady convection-diffusion process, what is the difference between explicit and implicit time-marching approaches?


2. Consider a 1D convective-type equation

φ     φ

t       x

where u is the flow velocity. Use FVM and Crank-Nicolson scheme to approximate the equation. (15 marks)

 

 

3. Considering the cooling process of a circular fin by means of convective heat transfer along its length (see figure below), governed by

 a(T T) = 0

where a is a parameter and T∝ is the ambient temperature. The fin has a uniform temperature at the cross sectional area (in the radial direction). The base (left side) of the fin is at a constant temperature TB of 100° and the top (right side) of the fine is fully insulated.

Data: L = 1.0 m, a = 25, T∝=20°

Divide the fin into 5 equally spaced cells and use FVM to calculate the temperature distribution of the fin.

Your answer should include:

•   A schematic drawing of FVM discretisation of the system

•   A general algebraic equation converted from the governing equation

•   A set of equations expressing the temperature T of 5 cells

•   The value of T at each cell (20 marks)
