Boundary

Condition: u(x,t)
The boundary condition u(x,t) represents the values of the function
u along the boundaries of the domain. This condition is essential in
solving partial differential equations, such as the heat equation, as
it defines the constraints on the system.
Boundary Conditions:
u(0,t) = 0, u(i,t) = 0
u(0,t) = 0 u(i,t) = 0
The function u is equal to 0 The function u is equal to 0
at the left boundary (x=0) at the right boundary (x=i)
for all time t. for all time t.
Initial Condition: u(x,0) =
f(x)
The initial condition u(x,0) = f(x) defines the initial state of the
system at time t=0. The function f(x) represents the starting
values of u across the spatial domain.
Derivation of One-Dimensional Heat Equation
Heat Flux 1
The heat flux, q, is proportional to the temperature
gradient, ∂u/∂x, as described by Fourier's law.
2 Conservation of Energy
The change in internal energy within a volume is equal
to the net heat flux entering that volume.
Partial Differential Equation 3
Combining Fourier's law and the conservation of
energy leads to the one-dimensional heat equation:
∂u/∂t = α ∂²u/∂x², where α is the thermal diffusivity.

Heat Equation in 1D
The one-dimensional heat equation is given by ∂u/∂t = α ∂²u/∂x²,
where u is the temperature, t is time, x is the spatial coordinate,
and α is the thermal diffusivity of the material.

u(0,t) = 0. at u(i,t) = 0.
Solving the 1D Heat Equation
Separation of Variables 1
The solution can be found by using the method of
separation of variables, which involves expressing the
temperature as a product of functions of x and t. 2 Eigenvalue Problem
Applying the boundary conditions leads to an
eigenvalue problem, which determines the allowed
Final Solution 3 values of the separation constant.
The final solution is obtained by summing the infinite
series of eigenfunctions, each multiplied by a
coefficient determined by the initial condition.
