Hydrochloric acid is a chemical agent that requires perfect conditions and a poor emergency response to cause heavy casualties; however, if it is properly released in a well-populated area, it has the potential to cause tens of thousands of casualties. (true/false)

answer: semi-infinite solid initially at a uniform temperature of 400 ◦c is cooled at its surface by convection. the cooling fluid at a constant temperature of 200 ◦c has a convective coefficient (ha) of 250 w/m2.k. the physical properties of the solid: k = 20 w/m.k and α = 4 * 10-5  m2/s. using δx = 0.04 m and δt = 10 s. write the finite difference equations describing the transient heat transfer of the first five δx and the temperature profile after 30 s.
