Explicit Formulation for One-Dimensional Transient Conduction ia a bar:

Consider the equation: qxx = qt, for 0 < x < 1 and t > 0. At t = 0 q = 1 throughout.
For t > 0, q = 0 at x = 0 and x = 1. Determine the solution by using Dx = 0.1 and
Dt = 0.0025 , 0.005 and 0.0075 for three time steps. Comment on the results.
Use an explicit method.
In the explicit method, the temperature at any interior node is given by:
q(i,j+1) = q(i,j) + (Dt/Dx2)[q(i+1,j) - 2 q(i,j) + q(i-1,j)]
