This paper presents a new method to solve the thermal diffusion with,
in a first step, the formulation of the general solution of the linear
equations, and in a second step the particular solution of the study
by introducing the boundary conditions which specialize the system of
equations. This method enables to reanalyse easily the problem for var
ious modified boundary conditions and applied thermal loads. Copyright
