Numerical Analysis of Boiling Eggs

I built a finite difference simulation in MATLAB to model transient heat conduction in bird eggs during incubation. The goal was to predict temperature profiles over time in quail, chicken, and ostrich eggs, based on species-specific geometry and thermal properties.

Using an explicit finite difference method, I modeled one-dimensional radial heat flow, accounting for transient boundary conditions and varying egg sizes. I also visualized temperature gradients and tracked internal heat propagation during incubation. This project deepened my understanding of bio-thermal systems and gave me hands-on experience with numerical modeling, thermal analysis, and biological applications of heat transfer.
