ABSTRACT
This chapter provides the examples of ADAPT which serve to illustrate certain aspects of problem formulation and associated programming. It looks at the description of the problem, the corresponding design of the ADAPT subroutine, a list of new Fortran names introduced, an actual listing of ADAPT, the computer output for the problem, and some comments on the results. The chapter begins with a very simple problem of steady heat conduction in a plane solid of square shape. Some simple explorations of CONDUCT are useful in becoming familiar with the program. By studying the results, students will also develop a better understanding of the relationship between the temperature, the conductivity, the heat generation rate, etc. The problem is designed to illustrate different boundary conditions, discontinuous and variable conductivity, and a nonuniform source term. The specification of the boundary conditions includes the convective condition on the outer surface and the prescribed heat flux on the flat surface.
