Heat Conduction EquationA diffusion equation of the form
 | (1) |
Physically, the equation commonly arises in situations where is the thermal diffusivity and the temperature. 
The 1-D heat conduction equation is
 | (2) |
This can be solved by Separation of Variables using
 | (3) |
Then
 | (4) |
Dividing both sides by gives
 | (5) |
where each side must be equal to a constant. Anticipating the exponential solution in , we have picked a negativeseparation constant so that the solution remains finite at all times and has units of length. The solutionis
 | (6) |
and the solution is
 | (7) |
The general solution is then
If we are given the boundary conditions
 | (9) |
and
 | (10) |
then applying (9) to (8) gives
 | (11) |
and applying (10) to (8) gives
 | (12) |
so (8) becomes
 | (13) |
Since the general solution can have any ,
 | (14) |
Now, if we are given an initial condition , we have
 | (15) |
Multiplying both sides by and integrating from 0 to gives
 | (16) |
Using the Orthogonality of and , | |  | (17) | so
 | (18) |
If the boundary conditions are replaced by the requirement that the derivative of the temperature be zero at the edges,then (9) and (10) are replaced by
 | (19) |
 | (20) |
Following the same procedure as before, a similar answer is found, but with sine replaced by cosine:
 | (21) |
where
 | (22) |
