The 1-D Heat Equation Linear Partial Differential equations Matthew J. Hancock Fall2006 1 The 1-D Heat Equation Physical derivation Reference:Guenther&Lee ,Myint-U&Debnath and [Sept. 8, 2006] Inametalrod with non-uniformtemperature,heat(thermal energy)istransferred from regions of higher temperature to regions of lower temperature. Three physical principles are used here. 1. Heat(orthermal) energy of abody with uniformproperties: Heat energy = cmu, where m is the body mass, u is the temperature, c isthe specificheat, units[c]= L2T 2U 1 (basicunitsareM mass, Llength, T time, U temperature). c istheenergy required to raise a unit mass of the substance 1 unit in temperature. 2. Fourier s law of heat transfer: rate of heat transfer proportional to negative temperaturegradient, Rate of heat transfer u = (1) K0 area x where K0 isthethermal conductivity,units[K0]= MLT 3U 1.
from (11), which does not satisfy the IC unless f (x) = 0. If you are lucky and f (x) = 0, then u = 0 is the solution (this has to do with uniqueness of the solution, which we’ll come back to). If f (x) is not zero for all 0 < x < 1, then T (t) cannot be zero and hence the above equations are only satisfied if
