This document discusses heat conduction equations in Cartesian and cylindrical coordinate systems. It presents the general heat conduction equation for a non-homogeneous, anisotropic material undergoing unsteady three-dimensional heat flow. For the Cartesian system, the equation accounts for temperature gradients and thermal conductivity in three dimensions. For the cylindrical system, similar heat accumulation terms are derived for the radial, angular and axial directions. Several simplified cases are also outlined, such as steady-state and one-dimensional heat transfer situations.
