Consider a two dimensional heat equation with circularly symmetric time independent
sources and boundary conditions as:
u   u 
 k r   Q r
t r  r 

This is subjected to initial conditions as:

u  r ,0   f  r 
u  a, t   T

The objective is to solve the given problem.

uE  r 
An equilibrium temperature distribution is used as:
k   uE  r  
r  Q r  0
r r  r 
k d  u E  r  
r  Q r  0
r dr  r 
d  u E  r   r
r    Q r
dr  r  k

Further integrating one gets as:

d  du E  r1  

Further after integration from r to a one gets as:

 duE  r2   1 11 

uE  r   
k r r1  0
T   r2 Q r2 dr2  dr1


Further introducing the displacement from the equilibrium temperature one has as:

v  r , t   u  r , t   uE  r 

Further the original problem reduces to one with homogeneous conditions as:
u k   v duE 
 r  r  Q r
t r r  t dt 
k   v  k   uE 
 r  r   Q r
r r  t  r r  t 
k   v 
 r 
r r  t 

Further one has as:

v  a, t   u  a, t   u E  a 
 T T
0

Thus, the problem becomes as homogeneous problem as:

v k   v 
  r  , v  r , 0   f  r   u E  r  , v  a, t   0
t r r  r 

Using separation of variables  

v r, t  R  r  T  t 
one can obtain two time dependent
ODEs as:
 I  T ' t    kT  t 
d  dR  r  
 II  r r   r R  r   0

dr  dr 

Further the solution of above is as:

R  r   c1 J 0  
 r  c2Y0  r 
Because of finiteness at zero one has as c2  0 so one has as:

 zn 
n    , n  1, 2,...
a

By superposition principle one has as:

 

f  r   uE  r    Cn J 0 n r
