Heat Transfer Simulation

This simulation illustrates heat conduction through a 1D metal rod, demonstrating how heat propagates over time. The left side of the rod is maintained at 100°C, while the right side stays at 20°C, mimicking real-world boundary conditions. The color gradient represents temperature distribution, with red indicating higher temperatures and blue indicating lower ones.

This model is based on the finite difference method (FDM) for solving the heat equation, commonly used in engineering, physics, and materials science. It helps in thermal system design, insulation analysis, and predicting heat dissipation in various applications, from electronics to industrial processes.
