A thin plate is initially at a uniform temperature of 200C. At a certain time t = 0 the
temperature of the east side of the plate is suddenly reduced to 0C. The other surface is
insulated. Use the explicit finite volume method in conjunction with a suitable time step size to
calculate the transient temperature distribution of the slab and compare it with the analytical
solution at time (i) t = 40 s, (ii) t = 80 s and (iii) t = 120 s. Comparison should be shown in a
graphical plot as well as in a tabular form showing the percentage error with the analytical
solution.
Recalculate the numerical solution using a time step size equal to the limit given by the stability
criteria (possibly 8 second or higher) for t = 40 s and compare the results with the analytical
solution.
Solve the problem using the both Crank-Nicholson scheme and fully implicit
scheme and compare the results with analytical results at (i) t = 40 s, (ii) t = 80 s and (iii)
t = 120 s.
With a time step of 8 s, compare the results of all these three schemes (explicit,
implicit and Crank-Nicholson) at time t = 40 s.
The data are: plate thickness L = 2 cm, thermal conductivity k = 10 W/m/K and C =
10x106 J/m3
/K.

Is there a policy here about cutting and pasting homework problems? I honestly don't mind helping students with particular problems or questions, but these type of posts really annoy me. I am never going to be inclined to help someone who has clearly made zero initial effort. I suspect that most knowledgeable people here feel similarly.

So, are these reportable? If not, should they be?

I agree.... perhaps someone could argue that a sub-section for homework requests could be an idea, too...

Actually this is why i completely stopped visiting cfd online. I was contacted by many people about their masters or phds work and often found myself doing their thesis work. Like meshing and running simulations etc.

I stopped replying emails etc which asked for homework.

Asking on forum is some what forgivable because anyone can answer but still many times it shows that person did not do proper search or put proper effort.

I am an undergraduate. How can you say that i put zero effect. I tried it.I also tried googe if it could help me out. I know that i am at zero level but everything starts from there. Help me if you can. If you are too busy then you can ignore the post. There is no compulsion that you have to answer every question posted. Thank you.

You cut and pasted the problem description from your instructor. You asked the forum to do your homework for you. This is not how you learn. If you had asked, "What is the difference between fully implicit and Crank Nicholson?" or "I've implemented this matlab code but it doesn't work...what am I doing wrong?" I and others would likely have helped you.

But you didn't. You took TWO problems exactly as issued by your instructor and posted them on a forum filled with highly competent CFD researchers and practitioners and asked them to think for you. If I were your instructor and saw your post, I would give you zero credit for whatever assignment you turned in.

this is just a homework ....

I found this presentation by googling your statement. Slide 13 is an exact match. What you ask is basically plagiarism.
