AB - The entropy production in 2-D heat transfer system has been analyzed  systematically by using the finite volume method, to develop new criteria  for the numerical simulation in case of multidimensional systems, with the  aid of the CFD codes. The steady-state heat conduction problem has been  investigated for entropy production, and the entropy production profile has  been calculated based upon the current approach. From results for 2-D heat  conduction, it can be found that the stability of entropy production profile  exhibits a better agreement with the exact solution accordingly, and the  current approach is effective for measuring the accuracy and stability of  numerical simulations for heat transfer problems.
