Abstract
The subject of the paper is connected with the microscale heat transfer proceeding in the metal domain. In particular, the heating process of thin metal film subjected to an external heat flux is analysed. Thermal processes in the domain considered are described by the dual-phase lag equation (DPLE) supplemented by the appropriate boundary and initial conditions. At the stage of numerical modeling the variant of the boundary element method called the BEM using discretization in time is applied. So far, this method has not been used fo the hyperbolic equations describing the microscale heat transfer. In the final part the example of computations is shown.
