Question

In the above example, we divided the domain into 3 elements. By doing so, we reduce the problem to determining a finite number of temperature values. Later, we will see how to obtain these values from governing equations and/or boundary conditions. For now, answer the following question based on the concepts covered in the above video.Let's consider the case when we increase the number of elements to 5. How many temperature values will we need to obtain to determine the variation of temperature along the line?With 5 elements, we have a total of 6 nodes. We need to obtain the temperature at each of these 6 nodes.Increasing the number of elements is referred to as mesh refinement.

Answer 1

6

Explanation:

With 5 elements, we have a total of 6 nodes. We need to obtain the temperature at each of these 6 nodes.

Increasing the number of elements is referred to as mesh refinement.
