Abstract
This work has formulated and developed models for predicting the temperature distributions and the distortions
induced in metallic plates by the heat transfer process. Fouriers series of heat conduction equation was considered by using finite difference method.Finite difference
models have been developed. Furthermore, a series of
load temperature curves for a bead-on-metallic plate have
been calculated with suitable convection boundary conditions and material properties. The result form a sparse
block tridiagonal matrix,The matrix was program into
mathematical computational matrix laboratory MATLAB and came up with numerical results and compared
with results obtained from previous research. The effect
of different parameters on the heat transfer response, including the temperature speeds, heat inputs,thicknesses of metallic plates.And lastly analysis of error was done and order of con
vergence of the error found to be of first order.
