Here we present simple JAVA computer codes that are intended for student use solving the homework problems in a text such as "Heat Transfer" by J. P. Holman (McGraw Hill, 1986) and other similar problems on a PC or Work Station. These codes are specifically not intended as general purpose codes for use by working professionals in the field. The goal has been to keep the formulation, logic and programming as simple as possible so that the student can easily grasp the flow of the calculations.

You can use the following sample input data files. If you use a PC, you can select and copy the data with "CTRL C", Then paste them on the input field of the Applets with "CTRL V".

• The Sample input data No.1: A coarse grid ellipse

• The Sample input data No.2: A fine grid Ellipse

• The Sample input data No.3: A triangle

Details of how to run these codes are available in the paper HEAT TRANSFER CODES FOR STUDENTS IN JAVA by William J. Devenport, Joseph A. Schetz and Yu Wang.
