I. INTRODUCTION
Heat transfer is the process of transfer of heat from high temperature reservoir to
low temperature reservoir. In terms of the thermodynamic system, heat transfer is
the movement of heat across the boundary of the system due to temperature
difference between the system and the surroundings. The heat transfer can also take
place within the system due to temperature difference at various points inside the
system. The difference in temperature is considered to be ‘potential’ that causes the
flow of heat and the heat itself is called as flux.
There are three major processes of transferring heat, namely conduction, convection
and radiation.
This report only deals with 2-dimensional analysis for conduction and convection.
The analysis for the steady state and transient process shown in this report is done
using Solidworks 2017 and Microsoft Excel 2010. The purpose of using both
programs is to ensure that the data found will be precise.
Given consistent boundary conditions, we are expecting similar results for both
simulations.

V. DISCUSSIONS AND CONCLUSION
As can be seen from the figures above, the Empilicit Method is closer with the values
shown in the Solidworks Simulation. The Exlicit Method slightly lacks the accuracy
and precision required to analyse 2-D Heat Transfer in Transient Conditions. This
may be attributed to the limits of the method. Emplicit Method, on the other hand,
shows that the values are converging to a certain degree more accurate to the values
that the Explicit Method shows, with the Solidworks simulation as the reference.
