3.40 A coating on the panel surface is cured by radiant energy
from a heater. The temperature of the coating is determined by
radiative and convective heat transfer processes. If the radiation is
treated as diffuse and gray, the following nonlinear system of
simultaneous equations determine the unknowns , , , :
where and are the radiosities of the heater and coating surfaces, respectively, and and are the
respective temperatures.
(a) Show that the following iteration function can be used for solving the nonlinear system of equations
with the fixed-point iteration method:
(b) Solve the nonlinear system of equations with the fixed-point iteration method using the iteration func-
tions from part (a). Use the following initial values: K, W/m2, and
W/m2. Carry out 100 iterations, and plot the respective values to observe their convergence.
The final answers should be: K, W/m2, K, W/m2.
Solution
(a) The iteration functions are derived by solving the first equation for , the second equation for ,
the third equation for , and the fourth equation for .
