Abstract
The unsteady state heat diffusion in a two-dimensional semicircular solid with internal heat
source and mixed boundary conditions was studied. The problem is solved using the finite
volume method in the program CONDUCT and by the finite difference method. A study of
the mesh effect was carried out. The results given by the program were quite similar with the
FDM .

First, the problem was solved with the
finite difference method in a 7x7 grid.
Then it was calculated in CONDUCT
