For simple geometries (rectangular slab) the command NDSolve[] can do the
work, look at the Documentation Center. On the other hand, for more
elaborated problems you can use the free Imtek Mathematica Supplement (IMS),
which implements Finite Element Method inside Mathematica, you can download
IMS from:
http://www.imtek.de/simulation/mathematica/IMSweb/ 

Hope that helps!

Asunto: [mg79260] Heat transfer -- possible in mathematica?

Greetings,

I'm attempting to solve a 2-dimensional, transient heat transfer calculation
(rectangular slab) with uniform generation.  Is this (relatively easily?)
possible in mathematica, or should I simply resort to trying to program a
finite element solution to the problem?  Additionally, if anyone knows of a
notebook already constructed, I'd love to see it.  

Thanks!
Mike
