Consider there is a bath which contains a fluid with specific heat f and mass density as
f
and they both surrounds the end at x  L of a one-dimensional rod.

The objective is to determine the equation for the temperature in the bath assuming bath
is thermally insulated.

Now the total energy coming out of the rod to the bath is as:

u
  L , t  A  L     K 0  L    L , t  A  L  
x

A L 
Here is the area of the cross section of perfect contact.

Now the total energy entering the rod from the bath is as:

u
V  f cf  L , t 
t

Here V is the volume of the bath.

Now from conservation of heat energy one has as:

u u
K0  L    L, t  A  L    V  f c f  L , t 
x t

Now further, as there is a perfect contact at x  L one has as 

u L , t   u  L , t 
, and
K
there is continuity of 0 at L thus equation derives as:

u u
 K0  L   L, t  A  L   V  f c f  L , t 
x t

Hence, equation for the temperature in the bath is as

u u
 K 0  L   L, t  A  L   V  f c f  L, t 
x t .
