The 1-D Heat Equation - MIT OpenCourseWare
ocw.mit.edu › courses › mathematicsHeat energy = cmu, where m is the body mass, u is the temperature, c is the specific heat, units [c] = L2T−2U−1 (basic units are M mass, L length, T time, U temperature). c is the energy required to raise a unit mass of the substance 1 unit in temperature. 2. Fourier’s law of heat transfer: rate of heat transfer proportional to negative
The One-Dimensional Heat Equation
ramanujan.math.trinity.edu › rdaileda › teachThe heat equation Homogeneous Dirichlet conditions Inhomogeneous Dirichlet conditions TheHeatEquation One can show that u satisfies the one-dimensional heat equation u t = c2u xx. Remarks: This can be derived via conservation of energy and Fourier’s law of heat conduction (see textbook pp. 143-144). The constant c2 is the thermal diffusivity: K
Heat equation - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_equationFor heat flow, the heat equation follows from the physical laws of conduction of heat and conservation of energy (Cannon 1984). By Fourier's law for an isotropic medium, the rate of flow of heat energy per unit area through a surface is proportional to the negative temperature gradient across it: where is the thermal conductivity of the material, is the temperature, and is a vectorfield that repres…
