Transient Heat Conduction

This MATLAB App provides a GUI to study transient and steady-state heat conductions.

Description

This is the 4th MATLAB App in the Virtual Thermal/Fluid Lab series.

This MATLAB App allows you to:
1. Visualize the change of temperature distribution in a transient heat conduction problem
2. Test the effects of initial and boundary conditions and thermal diffusivity on temperature distribution
3. Understand numerical stability and effect of convergence criterion
4. Learn to use the MuPAD® Notebook to compute analytical solution of the steady-state conduction problem
5. Look at the GUI source code and see how it is created
