Abstract
A simple method for investigating heat conduction in materials of non-uniform thermal conductivity and irregular shapes is presented. In this method, the material is tessellated into cells (squares in two-dimensions and cubes in three-dimensions), the regions of non-uniform conductivities in each of the cells are replaced by the cell of an effective thermal conductivity, and the heat conduction equation is then solved numerically by discretizing it in time and space. Sample results based on this approach are given for 2-D materials.
