(20 points) The following figure shows the properties and the boundary conditions for each element of a metal plate. Construct the thermal load matrix for each element and assemble the elemental thermal load matrices to obtain the global thermal load matrix. The 2-D heat transfer problem is governed by \begin{equation} k_x \frac{\partial^2 T}{\partial x^2} + k_y \frac{\partial^2 T}{\partial y^2} = 0 \end{equation} where $k_x = k_y = k$.
