In Section 4.4 we discussed methods for solving two-dimensional heat-conduction problems using graphical procedures and shape factors. In this section we consider analytical and numerical methods.
The equation for conduction in the x direction is as follows:
Equation 4.15-1

Now we shall derive an equation for steady-state conduction in two directions x and y. Referring to Fig. 4.15-1, a rectangular block Δx by Δy by L is shown. The total heat input to the block is equal to the output:
Equation 4.15-2
