| A heat transfer solver has been developed using an object-oriented approach, which allows the heat transfer problem to be set up and solved easily with ease and user-friendliness. The solver is developed as a Window application using Java programming. It can solve several types of heat transfer problems such as one-dimensional steady-state heat conduction through a plane wall, cylinder, or sphere, with temperature, heat flux, and convective boundary conditions (BCs), one-dimensional transient heat conduction through a plane wall, lumped system analysis, extended heat transfer surface, forced convection over a flat plate, and radiation. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
