By comparing the respective difference equations of heat conduction through a homogeneous and non‐homogeneous media, an approximate analogy is established. This analogy enables the finding of the solution of conduction through a non‐homogeneous medium in terms of the known solution for homogeneous cases. An illustrative example is given to demonstrate the working details.
