This report presents three core lessons, each with a solved example in MATLAB code.

The integrates governing equations over control volumes, naturally conserving energy. It uses central difference schemes for flux calculations and Gauss-Seidel iteration for solving the resulting linear systems. In a steady-state system

Conduction is the transfer of thermal energy through solid materials via molecular activity. In a steady-state system, the temperature profile does not change with time. The Governing Equation
