Abstract
This paper concerned the finite volume method that applied to solve some
kinds of systems of non-linear boundary value problems (elliptic, parabolic and
hyperbolic) for PDE's.
Keywords: Finite Volume Method, Control Volume, System, Boundary Value

1. Introduction
One of the most important sources in applied mathematics is the boundary
value problems, such as mathematical models, biology (the rate of growth of
microorganism), [1], chemical engineering (an exothermic chemical reaction ,
heat conduction associated with radiation effects, deformation of shells), [10],
heat and mass transfer or petroleum engineering, tools for scientific computing,
[7]. Generally speaking, a boundary value problem consists of an equation with
boundary conditions.
