On comparing finite difference schemes applied to a nonlinear multi-region heat and mass transfer problem

A three-time-level scheme is employed to obtain numerical solutions of heat and mass transfer potentials for the nonlinear Luikov system. Relative errors are examined when the numerical solutions are compared to the analytical solutions for a single layer linear problem using different finite differ...

Description
Summary:A three-time-level scheme is employed to obtain numerical solutions of heat and mass transfer potentials for the nonlinear Luikov system. Relative errors are examined when the numerical solutions are compared to the analytical solutions for a single layer linear problem using different finite difference techniques. As a final example, comparisons also are made when the numerical schemes are used to solve a two-layer multi-region nonlinear approach, considering that the thermal conductivity and mass conductivity of the material are dependent on temperature and moisture transfer potential respectively.
