Title

2D transient heat transfer with a heat flux

Description

Analyze the transient heat transfer in a bar.

The heat flux at the left end is given. The initial temperature is zero for all nodes.
The purpose of this model is to find the temperature of the rod at A in the first 0.3 second
after the start of the heat flux.
