Simulation using Excel: reservoirs exchanging heat through a conducting rod
In this work we discuss the intricacies of a simulation using the MS Excel spreadsheet that allows to study in detail the process of heat transfer between two reservoirs at different temperatures through a conducting rod when heat losses are neglected.

| Summary: | In this work we discuss the intricacies of a simulation using the MS Excel spreadsheet that allows to study in detail the process of heat transfer between two reservoirs at different temperatures through a conducting rod when heat losses are neglected. The proposed physical model computes the time dependence of the reservoir temperatures and delivers reasonable results. This simulation can be used in a first year course in general physics.
En este trabajo discutimos las complejidades de una simulación utilizando la hoja de cálculo de MS Excel que permite estudiar en detalle el proceso de transferencia de calor entre dos reservorios a diferentes temperaturas a través de una varilla conductora cuando se desprecian las pérdidas de calor. El modelo físico propuesto calcula la dependencia temporal de las temperaturas del yacimiento y ofrece resultados razonables. Esta simulación se puede utilizar en un curso de primer año de física general.
