Heat transfer
A constant-property, one-dimensional plane slab of width 2L is initially at a uniform temperature. The
slab is heated convectively with Bi = 5. Plot the dimensionless surface (x = L) and midplane temperatures
(x = 0) in the range 0 < Fo<500. State clearly your definition of the dimensionless temperature. Retain
four terms in the series solution employed for 0 < Fo<0.2. Comment on your results.
Note: use log scale for the Fo plot to show the details when Fo is small.
