CAPSTONE TRANSFERINDEPENDENT TRANSFERNumerical model choice
Euler with h=1 estimates a rapidly changing cooling curve poorly; h=0.25 cuts maximum error from 6.2 C to 1.4 C but requires four times the steps.
- Accuracy and computational cost trade off.
- Defend the transfer, name its boundary, and leave an auditable reasoning trail.
