There are two series resistances, R and Rx which are in series. Vx h(t) is the voltage across the resistor Rx. There is a total V across both series resistors. That is all that is given.

Hi, I cannot solve for the function g(t) (eq. 6) in the attached figure where there are two series resistances. My solution is incomplete. I do not know how to use Vx in this solution, which is needed because it contains h(t) found in the solution.

I have a general question about the solution to the Diffusion equation using the explicit finite difference method. Now, it is known the solution is stable when D*dt/dx^2 is less than 0.5, based on the choice of time and space steps. However, how does the choice of the time and space steps...

Thank you for all the suggestions, I will look more deeply into the equations and post questions. As far as explicit stepping, I have some very basic 1-D code and was never able to rewrite it using crank nicholson. I was running into problems in that I did not know how to incorporate the...

Hello, I am looking to apply to heat equation to a cylindrical rod and solving with explicit finite difference scheme. I have never worked with cylindrical coordinates before, what would be the best way to model this? I am having a hard time understanding the advantage of using cylindrical...
