We study heat transfer in one dimension with and without convection, also called advection-diffusion. This is done using the Finite Element Method (FEM) to discretise the mathematical model, i.e. the heat equation. The results are compared to analytic Fourier series solutions. Our main result is that the FEM could be used to better model the heat transfer which allow for more accurate models than today's use of steady state models.
