The circular rod depicted in Figure has an outside diameter of 60 mm, length 1m, and is perfectly insulted on its circumference. The left half of the cylinder is aluminium, for which $k_x =200 W/m. ^0C$ and the right half is copper having $k_x=389 W/m.^0C$ The extreme right end of the cylinder is maintained at a temperature of 80 $^0C$, while the left end is subjected to a heat input rate 4000 $W/m^2$. Using four equal length elements, Determine the steady state temperature distribution in the cylinder.

For element 1 & 2 :

$k_1=k_2=\frac{KA}{L}$

$\begin{bmatrix} \ 1 & -1 \\ \ -1 & 1 \\ \end{bmatrix}$ $=\frac{260\times0.002826}{0.25}$

$\begin{bmatrix} \ 1 & -1 \\ \ -1 & 1 \\ \end{bmatrix}$=2.26

$\begin{bmatrix} \ 1 & -1 \\ \ -1 & 1 \\ \end{bmatrix}$

$hspace{2cm}\therefore k_1=$ $\begin{bmatrix} …
