A 1m thick slab is initially at 100°C. The front face temperature is fixed at 0°C. The back surface of the slab is insulated. We use the Schmidt numerical method to find the temperature profile at different times. We compare this result with the solution obtained using Mathematica's built-in function NDSolve. This problem was originally proposed by C. J. Geankoplis, Transport Processes and Unit Operations, 3rd edition, Prentice Hall, 1993, Example 5.4-2 page 356.
