Abstract

Odekunle MR and Sunday Babuba

A new continuous numerical method based on the approximation of polynomials is here proposed for solving the equation arising from heat transfer along a thick steel slab and a hollow tube subject to initial and boundary conditions. The method results from discretization of the heat equation which leads to the production of a system of algebraic equations. By solving the system of algebraic equations we obtain the problem approximate solutions.
