1. Problem
A carbon steel cylinder, initially at temperature T0, is placed into a room with ambient temperature, T∞. Over
time the cylinder approaches the temperature of the room. A schematic of the cylinder is shown in Figure 1
below. This problem consists of a 2 dimensional heat diffusion problem (neglecting heat transfer in the angular
direction).
