Two engineers are to solve an actual heat transfer problem in a manufacturing facility. Engineer A makes the necessary simplifyi

ng assumptions and solves the problem analytically, while engineer B solves it numerically using a powerful software package. Engineer A claims he solved the problem exactly and, thus, his results are better, while engineer B claims that he used a more realistic model and, thus, his results are better. Will the experiments prove engineer B right

Answer:

Engineer A results will be more accurate

Explanation:

Analytical method is better than numerical method. Engineer A has used analytical method and therefore his results will be more accurate because he used simplified method. Engineer B has used software to solve the problem related to heat transfer his results will be approximate.
