In order to solve 2D Laplaces Heat Equation subject to inhomogenous boundary conditions, we first develop general solution for given problem. Consider the figure-2 to solve 2D Laplaces Equation for rectangular plate subject to the Dirichlet boundary conditions. [1]

Figure-2: General 2D Laplaces Heat Problem The method of separation of variables is not applicable to a Dirichlet problem when the boundary conditions on all four sides of the rectangular are inhomogeneous. To get around this difficulty, we break the problem ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ( ) ) ( ) ( ) ( ( ) ) ( ) ( )
into two problems, each of which has homogeneous boundary conditions on parallel boundaries.
