In this paper, we explore the numerical analysis of the microscale heat equation. We present the characteristics of numerical solutions obtained through both semi- and fully-discrete linear finite element methods. We establish a priori estimates and error bounds for both semi-discrete and fully-discrete finite element approximations. Additionally, the existence and uniqueness of the semi-discrete and fully-discrete finite element ap-proximations have been confirmed. The study explores error bounds in various spaces, comparing the semi-discrete to the exact solutions, the semi-discrete against the fully-discrete solutions, and the fully-discrete solutions with the exact ones. A practical algorithm is introduced to address the sys-tem emerging from the fully-discrete finite element approximation at every time step. Additionally, the paper presents numerical error calculations to further demonstrate and validate the results.
