Abstract: | In this article, we present local discontinuous Galerkin (LDG) method for solving a model of energy exchanges in an N ‐carrier system with Neumann boundary conditions. This model extends the concept of the well‐known parabolic two‐step model for microheat transfer to the energy exchanges in a generalized N ‐carrier system with heat sources. The energy norm stability and error estimate of the LDG method is proved for solving N ‐carrier system. Some numerical examples are given. The numerical results when compared with the exact solution and other numerical results indicate that the present method is seen to be a very good alternative to some existing techniques for realistic problems. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
