Warm-Up
A 206-gram bar of iron has sunlight shining on it. Initially, its temperature is 24.7°C. As it gains 1,070.79 joules of energy, its
temperature rises to 36.2°C. Calculate the specific heat capacity of the iron bar using the formula Q = mCAT.

50.23 i believe is correct but don't quote me on that.

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.
