Quadrilaterals, BEAM6T2

Mesh: Four quadrilaterals--see appendix A.1.
Material properties: $\lambda=20$ W/mK, $\rho\!\cdot\! c=3\times 10^6$ J/m3K.
Boundary conditions:

$\alpha_1=\alpha(T_{w1})$ W/m2K, $T_1=-20^\circ$C
$\alpha_2=\alpha(T_{w2})$ W/m2K, $T_2=25^\circ$C

\begin{displaymath}\alpha(T)=
\left\{\begin{array}{ll}
30 & \mbox{for}~T \le 0...
...T\in (0,0.1)\\
10 & \mbox{for}~T \ge 0.1
\end{array}\right.
\end{displaymath}

Initial conditions: $T(x)\equiv 25^\circ$C at time t=0.
