Derive the stability criterion for an inside-corner boundary control volume for two- dimensional steady conduction when a convection boundary condition exists.

GIVEN
Two-dimensional steady conduction at an inside corner with a convection boundary condition
FIND
(a) The stability criterion




to account for the convection boundary condition.

The coefficient on Ti, j, m is now



This coefficient must be greater than zero for stability, therefore



Note that as we have seen before, the criterion for a convective boundary condition is more restrictive

than other boundary condition stability criteria.
