Numerical solution of the heat equation using finite difference approximation was developed to determine the temperature distribution profile for cooling of a rectangular steel bar.
Temperature distribution plots were made at characteristic time steps describing the heat distribution along the steel bar and ultimately depicting the time it takes for the steel bar to achieve isothermal equilibrium with the cooling medium.
