Abstract
A finite element weighted residual process has been used to solve transient linear and nonβlinear twoβdimensional heat conduction problems. Rectangular prisms in a spaceβtime domain were used as the finite elements. The weighting function was equal to the shape function defining the dependent variable approximation. The results are compared in tables with analytical, as well as other numerical data. The finite element method compared favourably with these results. It was found to be stable, convergent to the exact solution, easily programmed, and computationally fast. Finally, the method does not require constant parameters over the entire solution domain.

The paper presents results obtained by the implementation of a new hybrid Laplace transform/finite element method developed by the authors. The present method removes the time derivatives from the governing differential equation using the Laplace transform and then solves the associated equation wit

## Abstract A new finite element method is presented for the solution of twoβdimensional transport problems. The method is based on a weighted residual formulation in which the method of characteristics is combined with the finite element method. This is achieved by orienting sides of the spaceβtim
