It sounds like you are trying to mix mesh analysis with nodal analysis. Both are valid but only when applied separately. You can apply nodal analysis or mesh analysis to any circuit. I could show you the analysis if you'd like, but it looks like mjhilger already cleared that up.

Let's pick a temperature value as a maximum temperature tolerance. Say, 105°C. Would there be a way we could incorporate this variable into our equation to give us the maximum current based on a maximum temperature allowance of 105°C?

Hello! A co-worker recently asked me how to calculate the maximum current through a titanium cylinder. I immediately realized there were probably many variables, likely including voltage, length, cross sectional area, and electrical conductivity. I used wikipedia to see what I could find and...
