An analytical method has been presented for calculating 
average temperature differences for rectangular heat-releasing elements 
located in the body of a rectangular homogeneous thin heat-conducting 
plate relative to its edges with the same temperature. A stationary 
problem for the cases of heat removal from one, two, three, and four 
edges of such a plate has been considered.
