Summary
An approximate solution of heat-conduction problems can be obtained by the strip method. The method consists of an application of the finite-difference approximation in one physical coordinate and an analytic solution in other coordinates. A simple illustrative example is given and the result is compared with that obtained by the exact solution. By application of this method, an approximate solution is given for the steady heat conduction through a rectangular parallel composite wall with different rates of heat generation.
