Abstract

Abstract

This study aims to create a model and simulate the temperature distribution on a thin conductive plate using the Finite Difference Method (FDM). The heat transfer process analyzed is two-dimensional conduction, which is modeled using the heat diffusion equation and solved numerically using MATLAB software. The mathematical model obtained is a partial differential equation that represents temperature changes in space and time. Discretization is performed in the space and time domains to obtain an explicit scheme for calculating the temperature distribution at each point on the plate. The simulation results are presented in the form of graphs and temperature distribution contours that show the heat spread pattern and the rate of temperature change until it approaches a steady state. In addition, differences in the thermal properties of materials affect the rate of heat diffusion, as seen from the resulting temperature distribution. This study shows that the finite difference method can be used successfully to model and simulate heat transfer phenomena in thin plates numerically.
