How Finite Difference form of Heat Equation With Two-Dimensional Steady-State

Finite Difference form of Heat Equation
Assume unit depth, steady state conditions and all heat flows are directed into the nodal region of interest.
where i refers to neighbouring nodes

Applying Fourier’s law for conduction from node (m-1,n) to (m,n):

where (Dy.1) is the heat transfer area and (Tm,n-T m-1,n)/Dx is the finite difference approximation to the temperature gradient.

Substituting all q’s into the energy balance:
* Valid for interior points, within the medium

 Consider an external corner, with convection heat transfer

 *for summary of nodal finite-difference equations for different configurations

We have transformed the system of differential equations to a system of algebraic equations

 Solution methods:

The Matrix Inversion Method
–Gauss-Seidel Iteration 

When completed with a calculator à & time-limited ability Matrix Inversion à little knot, Σ a particular operation. Gauss-Seidel iteration à more nodes, Σ is not a specific operation.
