A long concrete beam is to undergo a thermal test to determine its loss of strength in the event of a building fire. The beam cross section is triangular as shown in the sketch. Initially, the beam is at a uniform temperature of 20°C. At the start of the test, one of the short faces and the long face are exposed to hot gases at 400°C through a heat transfer coefficient of 10 W/(m2 K) and the remaining short face is adiabatic. Produce a graph showing the highest and lowest temperatures in the beam as a function of time for the first 1 hour of exposure. For the concrete properties, use k = 0.5 W/(mK) and n = 5 x 10–7 m2/s. Use a node spacing of 4 cm. and use an explicit difference scheme.
