Lecture#8 HEAT CONDUCTION PROBLEM The Heat Conduction Problem: > B. Ic We consider a homogenous rod of length |. The rod is sufficiently thin so that the heat is distributed equally over the cross section at time ¢. The surface of rod insulated, and therefore there is no heat loss through boundary. Both ends of the rod are immersed in ice cold water and initial temperature distribution is given by d(x). The temperature distribution (x, ©) of the rod is given by the solution of the initial BVP: Aye = ety O0 Cc [ “oe J to u(t) = 0, tzo of Cue,0) = 069 o. t>0.
