A boundary element formulation was presented for two dimensional transient heat conduction problems. Comparisons were made between results from this model and those from the finite difference method. It was concluded that the boundary element method which has serveral advantages, such as the wide variety of element shapes, simplicity of data preparation and small CPU times will find wide application as an alternative for the finite difference or finite element methods, in the fields of two or three dimensional transient heat conductions.
