Consider is known.

The objective is to derive the total thermal energy contained in rod with 0  x  L .

Now the thermal energy per unit volume is as   and the rod has constant cross
e x, t
sectional area as A and segment is between x and x  x . Thus, total energy with constant
thermal energy density is as:

e  x, t  Ax

c  x  u  x, t    x
Now heat energy per unit mass is as and mass density is as , thus total
  x  Ax
mass of thin slice with thickness x is as .

Now further total thermal energy in thin slice is as:

e  x, t  Ax  c  x  u  x, t    x  Ax
e  x , t   c  x  u  x, t    x 

Now further for rod with 0  x  L the thermal energy is as:

L L

 e  x, t  Ax   c  x  u  x, t    x  Adx
0 0

Now when time t is constant then total thermal energy in rod from 0  x  L is given by
equation as:
L

 cu  Adx
0

 cu  Adx
Hence, total thermal energy contained in rod with 0  x  L is as 0
