seeking ANSYS thermal examples

I am using ANSYS 5.3.  I am looking for examples of thermal problems.  I
have explored the example problem in the Help file, but the type of
boundary conditions I wish to set do not appear in this example.

Also, I am looking for descriptions of some of the fine points involved
in the thermal modeling, such as:

-- what equations are used in the thermal model?
-- how are boundary conditions set in the thermal model?
-- must the enthalpy for each material be defined, or is it sufficient
to define just the specific heat, and thermal conductivity?
 (Alternatively:  where does the enthalpy appear in the equations?)

Thanks,

Al Henning
