Exercise 2

Problem 14 - collaborate! :

Some of the isothermal curves appear to be disconnected in places. Do you think they are really discontinuous? If not, why do they look like this?

Problem 15 - collaborate! :

Do the isotherms and vectors that you drew differ markedly from those produced by the computer in parts b) and d)? If significantly different, why do you think this occurred?

Problem 16 - collaborate! :

In general, how is the direction of the heat flow at a point related to the isothermal curve through the point? Compare the results of exercise 1 with that of exercise 2.
