Estou tentando modelar a condução de calor dentro de um cilindro de madeira usando métodos implícitos de diferenças finitas. A equação geral de calor que estou usando para formas cilíndricas e esféricas é:
Onde p é o fator de forma, p = 1 para cilindro ep = 2 para esfera. As condições de contorno incluem convecção na superfície. Para mais detalhes sobre o modelo, consulte os comentários no código do Matlab abaixo.

A função m-file, funcACbar, que cria o sistema de equações a resolver é:
% Finite difference equations for cylinder and sphere
% for 1D transient heat conduction with convection at surface
% general equation is:
% 1/alpha*dT/dt = d^2T/dr^2 + p/r*dT/dr for r ~= 0
% 1/alpha*dT/dt = (1 + p)*d^2T/dr^2 for r = 0
% where p is shape factor, p = 1 for cylinder, p = 2 for sphere
function T = funcACbar(pbar,cpbar,kbar,h,Tinf,b,m,dr,dt,T)
alpha = kbar./(pbar.*cpbar); % effective thermal diffusivity
Fo = alpha.*dt./(dr^2); % effective Fourier number
Bi = h.*dr./kbar; % effective Biot number
% [A] is coefficient matrix at time level n+1
% {C} is column vector at time level n
A(1,1) = 1 + 2*(1+b)*Fo(1);
A(1,2) = -2*(1+b)*Fo(2);
C(1,1) = T(1);
for k = 2:m-1
A(k,k-1) = -Fo(k-1)*(1 - b/(2*(k-1))); % Tm-1
A(k,k) = 1 + 2*Fo(k); % Tm
A(k,k+1) = -Fo(k+1)*(1 + b/(2*(k-1))); % Tm+1
C(k,1) = T(k);
end
A(m,m-1) = -2*Fo(m-1);
A(m,m) = 1 + 2*Fo(m)*(1 + Bi(m) + (b/(2*m))*Bi(m));
C(m,1) = T(m) + 2*Fo(m)*Bi(m)*(1 + b/(2*m))*Tinf;
% solve system of equations [A]{T} = {C} where temperature T = [A]\{C}
T = A\C;
end
E, finalmente, a função que lida com as reações cinéticas, funcY, é:
% Kinetic equations for reactions of wood, first-order, Arrhenious type equations
% K = A*exp(-E/RT) where A = pre-exponential factor, 1/s
% and E = activation energy, kJ/mol
function [rww, rwg, rwt, rwc] = funcY(A1,E1,A2,E2,A3,E3,R,T,pww)
K1 = A1.*exp(-E1./(R.*T)); % wood -> gas (1/s)
K2 = A2.*exp(-E2./(R.*T)); % wood -> tar (1/s)
K3 = A3.*exp(-E3./(R.*T)); % wood -> char (1/s)
rww = -(K1+K2+K3).*pww; % rate of wood consumption (rho/s)
rwg = K1.*pww; % rate of gas production from wood (rho/s)
rwt = K2.*pww; % rate of tar production from wood (rho/s)
rwc = K3.*pww; % rate of char production from wood (rho/s)
end
A execução do código acima fornece um perfil de temperatura no centro e na superfície do cilindro de madeira:
Como você pode ver neste gráfico, por alguma razão, as temperaturas do centro e da superfície convergem rapidamente na marca de 2 minutos, o que não está correto.
Alguma sugestão sobre como corrigir isso ou criar uma maneira mais eficiente de resolver o problema?
