which falls within the category of conservative schemes for any admissible
values ofpara1neters er 1 , er 2 , er 3 , er 4. In particular, for er 1 = 0, er 2 = 1, er 3 = 1,
er 4 = 1 we constitute a syste1n of difference equations, whose solution is
found successively by the explicit formulas: at the first stage - u;+^1 , at the
second stage - T/~: 1112 and at the third stage - Pi+l/ 2 , i = 0, 1, ... , N - l by
the elimination method from the energy equation and the state equation
p 11 = ( / - 1 )E being supplemented with the suitably chosen boundary
conditions for i = 0 and i = N - l. For example, we might agree to impose
conditions (19).
In this context, it should be noted that conservative difference sche1nes
may be good enough for the equation of the total energy, but approxirnate
poorly the equation of the internal energy (14)

This can result in improper choices of computational procedures in
giving the temperature. The lack of energetic balances cannot be avoided
by refining the grid in a spatial variables. A presence of energetic disbal-
ances in a scheme can be interpreted as a presence of energetic sources of a
purely difference nature connected with smne "lack of agreement" between
separate difference equations of a scheme being inconsistent each to other.
