    The document discusses separating variables in a partial differential equation (PDE) describing heat conduction. It shows that the PDE can be separated into a time-dependent ordinary differential equation and a spatial PDE. Specifically, it presents a 2D heat conduction PDE, separates the PDE using a product of functions of time and space only, and derives the time ODE and spatial PDE, resulting in the spatial PDE taking the form of ∇2φ(x,y) = -λφ(x,y).

    Consider heat conduction in any two dimensional region satisfies

    The objective is to show that after separating time it results in     .

    u
     k  2u
    Now considering the PDE as t one can separate the space and time variables as
    u  x, y , y   h  t    x , y 
    and substitute this in PDE as:

    dh  t 
      x  kh  t   2  x, y 
    dt

    k  x, y  h  t 
    Now further, dividing by one gets as:

    1 dh  t  1
      2  x, y 
    kh  t  dt   x, y 
    1 dh  t 
     
    kh  t  dt

    Thus, PDE reduces to time dependent ODE as:


    dh  t 
      kh  t 
    dt

     2  x, y     x, y 
    Hence, it is shown that spatial PDE is as .
