What is the basis of the energy balance method? How does it differ from the formal finite difference method? For a specified nodal network, will these two methods result in the same or a different set of equations?
What will be an ideal response?
The energy balance method is based on subdividing the medium into a sufficient number of volume elements, and then applying an energy balance on each element. The formal finite difference method is based on replacing derivatives by their finite difference approximations. For a specified nodal network, these two methods will result in the same set of equations.
