This paper proposes a finite volume method for finding the unknown temperature on boundary of two-dimensional solid under heat conduction at steady state. A system of algebraic equations for unknown temperature and heat rate at nodal points are formulated and solved by the finite volume method. The inverse heat conduction problem is carried out to determine the unknown temperature on the boundary by employing the known temperature inside the domain. The cubic-spline interpolation is used to improve the accuracy of the solution on the boundary of domain. The unit square plate of isotropic homogeneous material is the domain of the problem. The functions of temperature are specified on the all boundaries of square plate. The result of this study can be summarized that the mesh size of 16 points in both x and y coordinates gives the maximum errors 0.306 oC and 0.024 oC when using finite volume method without and with cubic-spline technique, respectively, at position y = 0.625m.
