i need the solution with comsol
Consider a large plane wall of thickness L 5 0.4 m, ther- mal conductivity k 5 2.3 W/m·K, and surface area A 5 20 m 2 . The left side of the wall is maintained at a constant temperature of 95°C, while the right side loses heat by convection to the surrounding air at T ` 5 15°C with a heat transfer coefficient of h 5 18 W/m 2 ·K. Assuming steady one-dimensional heat transfer and taking the nodal spacing to be 10 cm, ( a ) obtain the finite difference formulation for all nodes, ( b ) determine the nodal temperatures by solving those equations, and ( c ) evaluate the rate of heat transfer through the wall
