Abstract
One of the problems of thermal power plants is the contamination of heating surfaces that arises during the boiler unit operation while combusting the solid fuel. The main part of the energy is consumed by pipes forming the furnace. Non-combustible mineral part of the fuel in the form of the ash and slag accumulates on the heating surfaces and thereby prevents heating of the working liquid. Therefore, boiler requires higher fuel consumption to maintain the operating conditions. Violation of the thermal conditions of heating surfaces in consequence of contamination causes the negative effects on metal pipes right up to failure. This problem is urgent due to the fact that information about the process of slagging and its effect on the thermal conditions of the heating surface operation enables the possibility to minimize the negative consequences. This possibility is achieved by adjusting the thermal conditions of the combustion process in the furnace with the periodic cleaning of the heating surfaces.

Since the considered model is a flat wall, and the heat flux occurs in one direction, we can move to the one-dimensional equation of non-stationary heat transfer: w wx
The solid body is represented as a plurality of nodes that are described by the algebraic equation of temperature
Summary
One of the problems of thermal power plants is the contamination of heating surfaces that arises during the boiler unit operation [1]. We consider a furnace pipe to have a layer of deposits on its surface. For a steady-state solution we must specify a calculation time that will not affect the result [4, 5]. We use the Fourier-Kirchhoff differential equation to describe the unsteady heat transfer by thermal conductivity: U с wT wt w wx
