Here, 'for'loop in the index 'j' not satisfied the first three D equatiions. if I plot D, then I got first values only and all other values zero. but I want smooth curve. how to use For loop in the j th iteration to satisfy all six multiple eqaution?

Your code is equivalent with the code below because in D(i), you overwrite all the results you got for j < nt.
All arrays UOLD, VOLD, TNEW, TOLD consist of zeros except TWALL. TWALL only influences D(1). So you get D(1) different from 0 and all other array elements of D equal to 0.

@Torsten then what I will do to get values in D. if i change 'j' index using for loop, then it will give values instead of zero. but its not the smooth.
