The initial condition is a function of osition. The temeatue is seci ed at the ight hand bounda (and is a function of time). At the left hand bounda the mateial is efectl insulated. Question 2.3.8 : The de is u t 2u ; u (; 0) ; u (0; t) u (2; t) 0:
The oosed solution is u (; t) e 2t. Cleal, u (; 0) e 0 and u (0; t) e 2t sin (0) 0 and u (2; t) e 2t sin (2) 0. And since b diect calculation u t e 2t t 2e 2t and u e 2t e 2t the de is cleal satis ed. Question 2.2.3 : The ode is u t (u 20) whee u (0) 00; whee u (t) is the temeatue at time t and is a ositive constant. (t) u (t) 20, then the ode is Let t whee (0) 80; which has the solution (t) 80e t ) u (t) 20 80e t : Question 2.4.3 : Pat : Witing the Lalacian in clindical coodinates.
