Hi there,

I recommend you the following two books that will help you understand with great simplicity the meaning of Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions:

Lewis, R. W., Nithiarasu, P., & Seetharamu, K. N.The Finite Element Method in Heat Transfer Analysis.John Wiley & Sons, 2004. ISBN: 978-0471908770.

Incropera, Frank P., and David P. DeWitt. Fundamentals of Heat and Mass Transfer. 4th ed., Wiley, Jan. 1996.

Hope they help you as they helped me!
