Question
In this question, we are concerned with the evolution of the temperature u(x, t) in a
homogeneous thin heat conducting rod of length L = 1. We can consider that the rod
is laterally insulated as to have a one-dimensional problem. The evolution of the temperature
is governed by the one-dimensional heat equation
ди
0 < x < 1,
, t > 0
= K
Ət
Əx2'
Assume that this equation is subject to the following initial conditions
u(x,0) = f(x)
and boundary conditions
(0, t) = 0 and
ди
(1,t) + и(1,t) — 0
(i) Discuss briefly the physical meaning of the boundary conditions.
