Abstract
The aim of this thesis is to develop a computer program, together with a users' guide, to analyse two-dimensional; nonlinear, transient heat conduction in non-isotropic solids using the finite element method. This program is an extension of an existing program that analyses thermomechanical stress in solids which may have prescribed temperature and flux boundary conditions. The program has been extended using the requirements for modelling heat transfer in mines as a guide. The theory of conduction, thermal radiation, convection and heat transfer due to evaporation and condensation is presented.
