Improvement in accuracy without sacrificing stability and convergence of the solution to unsteady diffusion heat transfer problems by computational method of enhanced explicit scheme (EES), has been achieved and demonstrated, through transient one dimensional and two dimensional heat conduction. The truncation error induced in the explicit scheme using finite difference technique is eliminated by optimization of partial derivatives in the Taylor series expansion, by application of interface theory developed by the authors. This theory, in its simple terms gives the optimum values to the decision vectors in a redundant linear equation. The time derivatives and the spatial partial derivatives in the transient heat conduction, take the values depending on the time step chosen and grid size assumed. The time correction factor and the space correction factor defined by step sizes govern the accuracy, stability and convergence of EES. The comparison of the results of EES with analytical results, show decreased error as compared to the result of explicit scheme. The paper has an objective of reducing error in the explicit scheme by elimination of truncation error introduced by neglecting the higher order terms in the expansion of the governing function. As the pilot examples of the exercise, the implementation is aimed at solving one-dimensional and two-dimensional problems of transient heat conduction and compared with the results cited in the referred literature.
