T= 1 at x= 0 0 < y < b∀ t ≥ 0
T= 0 at x= a 0 < y < b∀ t ≥ 0 (1.1)
T= 0 at y= 0 0 < x < a∀ t ≥ 0
T= 0 at y= b 0 < x < a∀ t ≥ 0
T ( x, y, 0) = 1
a) Using the operator methods (finite Fourier Transform) discussed in class, obtain the formal solution
for this problem. For convenience use θ=tk/ρCp.
b) Plot the temperature profile as a function of x, y, and θ. You may use a=1 and b=2.
2) Consider viscous flow in a closed rectangular channel of width a and height b, with u(x,y) given by
∂ 2u ∂ 2u ∆P

u = 0, x = 0, 0 < y < b
u= 0, x= a, 0 < y < b (1.2)
u= 0, y= 0, 0 < x < a
u= 0, y= b, 0 < x < a
a) Find u(x,y) for constant pressure drop, viscosity, and total length (∆P, µ, l)
b) Using the solution from part (a) find the total flow rate in the channel.
