Formulation
Consider a steady 2-D heat conduction problem in an arbitrary-shaped two dimensional domain which is subject to various types of boundary conditions as shown in Fig. 18.1. Considering a uniform heat generation rate per unit volume (Q) in the entire solution, the governing equation for heat transfer is

where T(x,y) is the exact distribution of temperature.
The boundary conditions are:
