3- Are these results consistent with those from chapter 4 for the analytical solution?
Answer:
Yes, In chapter 4, for the heat conduction system described by

0<<1

, 0 = 1
=0

0, = 0

=1

1, = 0

We obtained the solution

Plot of different values of vs. is consistent with the plot shown in Figure 1, 2 and 3 of this homework.
In chapter 4, we also showed that for = 0.5 we will have:

. , =
+ + =

It appears from results that temperature change with time is smooth, without the jump that appear in the explicit
method.

4- How does the temperature at i=5 change with time?

Answer:
Temperature at x=0.5 decreases as values of j (time) increases as observed from Figure 2 and 3. We also
observe symmetry in T about x=0.5 for all times. This arises from symmetry in the initial and boundary
conditions and the assumption of a uniform conductor.
