A comparison is made of the Crandall and Crank–Nicolson methods applied to a transient heat conduction problem with a convective boundary layer on its surface for a range of values of Nusselt modulus and Fourier modulus. A new equation is derived to handle the convective boundary condition. For reasonable accuracy requirements the Crank–Nicolson method gives superior performance with respect to accuracy.
