**6. Conclusions**

Analytical, transient numerical and two-node methods are used to compute temperature distribution in a finite slab. Numerical solution is carried out with temperature-dependent thermal conductivity. Implicit finite difference scheme with two-time level technique is implemented to solve nonlinear problem of heat conduction. Time delay is studied using finite element method with deforming grid strategy. A boundary shifting numerical scheme is used to solve transient heat conduction in radial coordinate. Evidence of temporal accuracy and dependence on time-step is demonstrated in the numerical solving of IHCP. Influence of thermocouple cavity and measurement errors in location and time are discussed. The IHCP is applied to predict the wall heat flux in a rocket nozzle of a solid motor. Wall heat flux is estimated in a free flight of a sounding rocket using the two-node method.
