Heat transport at the microscale is of vital importance in microtechnology applications. In this study, we develop a finite difference scheme of the Crank-Nicholson type by introducing an intermediate function for the heat transport equation at the microscale. It is shown by the discrete energy meth

โฆ Synopsis
A two-dimensional time-dependent heat transport equation at the microscale is derived. A second order finite difference scheme in both time and space is introduced and the unconditional stability of the finite difference scheme is proved. A computational procedure is designed to solve the discretized linear system at each time step by using a preconditioned conjugate gradient method. Numerical results are presented to validate the accuracy of the finite difference scheme and the efficiency of the proposed computational procedure.

von Rosenberg developed an explicit finite-difference scheme for solution of the linear convection-conduction partial differential equation in one space dimension. The method is stable and accurate when a dimensionless ratio of dispersion to convection is between zero and one. In this work, the von
