Abstract

The heat flow problems are a very important part of thermodynamics. The solution of these problems influences many other technical problems. The most important equation describing heat flow rules, is the heat equation (Fourier equation)

$$a^2\left(\frac{\partial^{2}T}{\partial x^{2}} + \frac{\partial^{2}T}{\partial y^{2}} + \frac{\partial^{2}T}{\partial z^{2}}\right) = \frac{\partial T}{\partial t}$$
