Expert Solution
Step 1

(2)

Given:

The coordinates of the rectangle are 0,a×0,b.

The diffusion equation is ut=v2u.

Introduction:

The diffusion equation is a parabolic partial differential equation. It describes the macroscopic behavior of many micro-particles in Brownian motion, resulting from the random movements and collisions of the particles
