Abstract

A two dimensional equation has been solved which represents the heat transfer equation for the growth of single crystals system called Bridgman- Stockbarger method. Two variations were analyzed with and without an insulation between heater and cooler. System without an insulation shows stability problems because it's directly affected by the boundary between the cooler and heater region, in this case we obtained a discontinuity in this point. System with an insulation shows higher stability.
