The aim of this work is to study the thermal properties of the compound considered. This compound can be applied in several fields such as thermal insulation of buildings and industry. In this work, we make a theoretical and numerical modeling in a method called finite volume composed of two phases meshing and discretization. We apply this method to the heat equation. Our composite sample is made of red earth (the red earth of source Oulja Sale, Morocco) doped with copper content and at other times reinforced with copper fibers, rectangular in geometric shape. Then we present our equation in the FORTRAN program, which allows us to obtain a temperature evolution as a function of time with different proportions of content. Numerical results obtained are consistent with the experimental results, where the temperature rises until a certain point where the sonde warms up and then decreases with time.
