Abstract
This chapter introduces the finite element method to solve steady-state heat transfer problems. Heat transfer problems can be categorized generally under one of the many field problems. A field problem is a boundary value problem with the variables (degrees of freedom (DOFs)) described as a varying field in our simulation domain. Other field problems include torsional deformation of bars, irrotational flow, and acoustic problems. The heat transfer problem is used to introduce the concepts behind the solving of field problems using FEM. Emphasis will be placed on one-dimensional and two-dimensional heat transfer problems.
