Teaching Heat Transfer Using MATLAB Apps

Learn how use MATLAB apps to simulate heat transfer in surfaces and under the initial temperature conditions. Use the simulation to deduce the following concepts:

• If the surface is filled with water, how long will it take for the temperature to go from 10 ° C to 40 ° C? What if the surface was filled with copper?
• How will the temperature change over time?
• What is the effect of boundary conditions on the temperature profile?
• How do we know if we have reached steady state?
