A simplified example of linear heat conduction distribution of temperature on in cylindrical coordinates illustrates how to apply the finite element wood. solutions. The accuracy of the solutions for this special case is evaluated via comparing them with a well-known exact solution. The results could give significant information for fire-resistant solutions in house architecture and design. 1. INTRODUCTION The knowledge of transient temperature profiles In order to analyze an engineering system, a plays an important role in some wood uses, for mathematical model is developed to describe the instance, for simulating heat conditioning of logs behavior of the system. The mathematical in veneer and plywood mills and temperature expression usually consists of differential response of lumber in dry kilns. Since wood is a equations and given conditions. These hygroscopic and porous medium, heat transfer differential equations are usually very difficult to may occur by means of several modes: solve if handled analytically. The alternative conduction, convection and radiation. However, way to solve the .
