SEMI INFINITE WALL ANALYTICAL SOLUTION TO THE
HEAT EQUATION.
The differential equation to be solved is
𝜕𝑇
𝜕𝑡
= 𝛼
𝜕2
𝑇
𝜕𝑥2
Where the initial and boundary conditions are
𝑻 = 𝑻𝒔 𝒂𝒕 𝒙 = 𝟎 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒕
𝑻 = 𝑻∞ 𝒂𝒕 𝒙 = ∞ 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒕
𝑻 = 𝑻∞ 𝒂𝒕 𝒕 = 𝟎 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒙
We postulate:
𝑌 =
𝑇 − 𝑇∞
𝑇𝑠 − 𝑇∞
And
𝜂 =
𝑥
2√𝛼𝑡
We get
𝑑2
𝑌
𝑑𝜂2
+ 2𝜂
𝑑𝑌
𝑑𝜂
= 0 (1)
With the transformed boundary and initial conditions
𝑌 → 0 𝑎𝑠 𝜂 → ∞
And
𝑌 = 1 𝑎𝑡 𝜂 = 0
The first condition is the same as the initial condition 𝑇 = 𝑇∞ 𝑎𝑡 𝑡 = 0 and the
boundary condition
𝑇 → 𝑇∞ 𝑎𝑠 𝑥 → ∞
Equation 1 may be integrated once to get
𝑙𝑛
𝑑𝑌
𝑑𝜂
= 𝑐1 − 𝜂2
𝑑𝑌
𝑑𝜂
= 𝑐2𝑒−𝜂2
And integrated once more to get
𝑌 = 𝑐3 + 𝑐2 ∫ 𝑒−𝜂2
𝑑 𝜂
Applying the boundary conditions to the equation, we get
𝑌 = 1 − erf (
𝑥
2√𝛼𝑡
)
𝑻 − 𝑻∞
𝑻𝒔 − 𝑻∞
= 𝟏 − 𝐞𝐫𝐟 (
𝒙
𝟐√𝜶𝒕
)
Or
𝑻𝒔 − 𝑻
𝑻𝒔 − 𝑻∞
= 𝐞𝐫𝐟 (
𝒙
𝟐√𝜶𝒕
)
ALTERNATIVE SOLUTION TO THE SEMI-INFINITE WALL PROBLEM
The problem of the semi-infinite wall could also be solved as below:
Given the boundary and initial conditions
𝑻 = 𝑻𝒔 𝒂𝒕 𝒙 = 𝟎 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒕
𝑻 = 𝑻∞ 𝒂𝒕 𝒙 = ∞
𝑻 = 𝑻∞ 𝒂𝒕 𝒕 = 𝟎
Since the rod is infinite in one direction, we say 𝑙 = ∞
And the governing equation
𝜕𝑇
𝜕𝑡
= 𝛼
𝜕2
𝑇
𝜕𝑥2
We assume an exponential temperature profile that satisfies the boundary
conditions:
𝑇 − 𝑇∞
𝑇𝑠 − 𝑇∞
= 𝑒
−𝑥
𝛿
We can satisfy the initial condition if we assume that 𝛿 will have a solution as
𝛿 = 𝑐𝑡𝑛
Where c and n are constants so that at 𝑡 = 0, 𝛿 = 0 and the initial condition is
satisfied as shown below.
𝑇 − 𝑇∞
𝑇𝑠 − 𝑇∞
= 𝑒
−𝑥
0 = 𝑒−∞
= 0
𝑇 = 𝑇∞ 𝑎𝑡 𝑡 = 0
We then transform the heat governing equation into an integral equation as:

Since 𝑙 and 𝑇∞ are constants independent of time
𝜕(𝑙𝑇∞)
𝜕𝑡

So
𝜕

∫ 𝑇𝑑𝑥
𝑙

=

Since 𝑙 = ∞, we substitute for 𝑙 and get

We go ahead and find

Since 𝑙 = ∞, we substitute for 𝑙 and get

𝑙

𝛿
(𝑒

𝛿
Substituting into the integral equation, we get
𝛼
(𝑇𝑠 − 𝑇∞)
𝛿
=
𝑑𝛿
𝑑𝑡
(𝑇𝑠 − 𝑇∞)
The boundary conditions are
𝛿 = 0 𝑎𝑡 𝑡 = 0
We find
𝛿 = √2𝛼𝑡
We substitute in the temperature profile and get
𝑻 − 𝑻∞
𝑻𝒔 − 𝑻∞
= 𝒆
−𝒙
√𝟐𝜶𝒕
You notice that the initial condition is satisfied by the temperature profile
above i.e.,
At 𝑡 = 0
𝑻 − 𝑻∞
𝑻𝒔 − 𝑻∞
= 𝒆
−𝒙
√𝟐𝜶𝒕
Becomes
𝑻 − 𝑻∞
𝑻𝒔 − 𝑻∞
= 𝒆
−𝒙
𝟎 = 𝒆−∞
= 𝟎
Hence 𝑻 = 𝑻∞ throughout the rod at 𝑡 = 0
Observation.
The two equations
𝑻 − 𝑻∞
𝑻𝒔 − 𝑻∞
= 𝒆
−𝒙
√𝟐𝜶𝒕
And
𝑻 − 𝑻∞
𝑻𝒔 − 𝑻∞
= 𝟏 − 𝐞𝐫𝐟 (
𝒙
𝟐√𝜶𝒕
)
Should give the same answer. Indeed, they give answers that are the same with
a small error since the error function is got from tables after rounding off yet in
the exponential temperature profile there is no rounding off.
HOW DO WE EXPLAIN THE EXISTENCE OF THE
FOURIER LAW IN STEADY STATE FOR SEMI-INFINITE
ROD?
The Fourier law states:
𝑄 = −𝑘𝐴
𝜕𝑇
𝜕𝑥
Under steady state.
It can be stated as:
𝜕𝑇
𝜕𝑥
= −
𝑄
𝑘𝐴
Under steady state.
To satisfy the Fourier law under steady state, we postulate the temperature
profile to be:
𝑻 − 𝑻∞ =
𝑸
𝒌𝑨
𝜹𝒆
−𝒙
𝜹
𝛿 is a function of time 𝑡 and not distance 𝑥
We believe that after solving for 𝛿, 𝛿 will be directly proportional to time t so
that 𝛿 = 𝑘𝑡𝑛
sothat at 𝑡 = ∞ , 𝛿 = ∞
And taking the first derivative of temperature with distance x at 𝑡 = ∞ , we get
𝜕𝑇
𝜕𝑥
|𝑡=∞ = −

𝑘𝐴

𝛿 = −

Hence the Fourier law is satisfied.
Now let us go ahead and solve for 𝛿.

The boundary conditions are

The temperature profile that satisfies the conditions above is
𝑇 − 𝑇∞ =

We transform the PDE into an integral equation by integrating over the whole
length of the metal rod.

The boundary conditions are

Hence the Fourier law
So, our assumption of 𝛿 = 𝑘𝑡𝑛

Where:

You notice that the initial condition is satisfied since after finding the solution

Therefore substituting 𝛿 in the temperature profile, we get:

HOW DO WE DEAL WITH OTHER TYPES OF BOUNDARY
CONDITIONS?
Consider the following types of boundary conditions and initial condition:
A)
𝑻 = 𝑻𝒔 𝒂𝒕 𝒙 = 𝟎
𝒅𝑻
𝒅𝒙
= 𝟎 𝒂𝒕 𝒙 = 𝒍
𝑻 = 𝑻∞ 𝒂𝒕 𝒕 = 𝟎
B)
𝑻 = 𝑻𝒔 𝒂𝒕 𝒙 = 𝟎
−𝒌
𝒅𝑻
𝒅𝒙
= 𝒉(𝑻 − 𝑻∞) 𝒂𝒕 𝒙 = 𝒍
𝑻 = 𝑻∞ 𝒂𝒕 𝒕 = 𝟎
Let us go about solving for the above boundary conditions but let us deal with set A
boundary conditions and then we can deal with set B later.
We start with a temperature profile below:
𝑇 − 𝑇∞ = (𝑇𝑠 − 𝑇∞)𝑒−
𝑥
𝛿
(1−
𝑥
𝑙
)
[
𝑥
𝑙
(𝑇1 − 𝑇∞)
(𝑇𝑠 − 𝑇∞)

we take the derivative
𝒅𝑻
𝒅𝒙
𝒂𝒕 𝒙 = 𝒍 and equate it to 0 and get:
𝑑𝑇
𝑑𝑥
|𝑥=𝑙 = (
(𝑇1 − 𝑇∞)
𝑙

(𝑇1 − 𝑇∞)

𝑑𝑇
𝑑𝑥
|𝑥=𝑙 = (
(𝑇1 − 𝑇∞)
𝑙
−
(𝑇𝑠 − 𝑇∞)
𝑙
+
(𝑇1 − 𝑇∞)
𝛿
) = 0
We finally get
(𝑇1 − 𝑇∞) = (𝑇𝑠 − 𝑇∞)(
𝛿
𝑙 + 𝛿
)
We substitute 𝑇1 − 𝑇∞ into the temperature profile and get
(𝑻 − 𝑻∞) = (𝑻𝒔 − 𝑻∞)𝒆−
𝒙

(𝟏 −
𝒙
𝒍
)
[
𝒙
𝒍
(
𝜹
𝜹 + 𝒍
) + (𝟏 −
𝒙
𝒍
)]
So, the temperature profile above satisfies the set A) boundary and initial
conditions and we can go ahead and solve the governing equation using the
temperature profile above.
For set B) boundary conditions, we again start with the temperature profile
below:
𝑇 − 𝑇∞ = (𝑇𝑠 − 𝑇∞)𝑒−
𝑥
𝛿
(1 −
𝑥
𝑙
)
[
𝑥
𝑙
(𝑇1 − 𝑇∞)
(𝑇𝑠 − 𝑇∞)

we take the derivative
𝒅𝑻
𝒅𝒙
𝒂𝒕 𝒙 = 𝒍 and equate it to:
𝑑𝑇
𝑑𝑥
|𝑥=𝑙 = (

𝑙

(𝑇1 − 𝑇∞)

𝒅𝑻
𝒅𝒙
|𝒙=𝒍 = −

We then find the required temperature profile which we can use to solve the
governing equation.

That there is a lag in the motion of the heat boundary layer by a time 𝑡0.

What that equation says is that when you stick wax particles on a long metal
rod (𝑙 = ∞) at distances x from the hot end of the rod and note the time t it
takes the wax particles to melt, then a graph of 𝑥2
against 𝑡 is a straight-line
graph with an intercept as stated by the equation above when the times are
small. The equation is true because that is what is observed experimentally.
The intercept above leads to an increase in time of flow of a boundary layer.
Since the graph above is a straight-line graph, it shows that 𝑇𝑠 IS NOT a
function of time.
In the equation above we substitute 𝑇 = 37℃ which is the temperature at which
wax begins to melt.
You notice that by varying the radius of the rod and plotting a graph of 𝑥2
against time t for melting wax at the sides of the rod, from the intercept, the
constant ‘a’ above can be measured and from the gradient, 𝑇𝑠 can be measured
since 𝑇 = 37℃ in the equation.
For an aluminium rod of radius 2mm, 𝑇𝑠 was found to be 57℃.
NB
• The temperature at which wax begins to melt is 37℃
• From experiment, it was found that 𝑇𝑠 is not the temperature of the flame
at the beginning of the metal rod.
To get 𝑇𝑠 we plot the graph of

Plotting a graph of ln(𝑇 − 𝑇∞) against x (excluding temperature at x=0) gives an
intercept 𝑙𝑛(𝑇𝑠 − 𝑇∞) from which 𝑇𝑠 can be measured but the value of 𝑇𝑠 got is
not the value of the temperature of the flame at 𝑥 = 0(𝑻𝒇).
THEORY
There is a relationship between 𝑇𝑠 and temperature of the flame(𝑻𝒇) at 𝑥 = 0.
First of all, we can postulate an existence of a flux at the beginning of the rod
independent of time i.e.,
𝑞̇|𝑥=0 = ℎ𝑓(𝑇𝑓 − 𝑇𝑠)
Where:
ℎ𝑓 = ℎ𝑒𝑎𝑡 𝑡𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑠𝑓𝑒𝑟 𝑐𝑜𝑒𝑓𝑓𝑖𝑐𝑖𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑓𝑙𝑢𝑖𝑑 𝑎𝑡 𝑏𝑒𝑔𝑖𝑛𝑛𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑜𝑓 𝑟𝑜𝑑
But we CAN’T equate this flux to
𝑞̇ = 𝑘
𝜕𝑇
𝜕𝑥
|𝑥=0
Because
𝑘
𝜕𝑇
𝜕𝑥
|𝑥=0 = 𝑘
(𝑇𝑠 − 𝑇∞)
𝛿
We have already derived 𝛿 and it is a function of time and using it to get 𝑇𝑠 will
cause 𝑇𝑠 to be a function of time yet a graph of 𝑥2
against time showed this is
not true since 𝑇𝑠 is constant independent of time.
We also can’t equate the above power (i.e., flux times area) to this power
ℎ𝑓𝜋𝑟2
(𝑇𝑓 − 𝑇𝑠) ≠ ℎ2𝜋𝑟 ∫ (𝑇 − 𝑇∞)𝑑𝑥
𝑙=∞
0
Because
ℎ2𝜋𝑟 ∫ (𝑇 − 𝑇∞)𝑑𝑥
𝑙=∞
0
= ℎ2𝜋𝑟𝛿(𝑇𝑠 − 𝑇∞)
The above would also bring back 𝛿 which is a function of time and this would
mean 𝑇𝑠 is a function of time which would contradict the observation of the
graph 𝑥2
against time to be a straight-line graph.
So, the only option we are left with is equating the fluxes at 𝒙 = 𝟎 below:
𝒉𝒇(𝑻𝒇 − 𝑻𝒔) = 𝒉(𝑻𝒔 − 𝑻∞)
The expression above will give us a temperature 𝑇𝑠 independent of time since all
the above factors don’t depend on time.
We can make 𝑇𝑠 the subject of the formula and get:
𝑻𝒔 =
𝒉𝒇𝑻𝒇 + 𝒉𝑻∞
𝒉 + 𝒉𝒇
From the above, it can be seen that 𝑇𝑠 is independent of time. From experiment,
it was found that 𝒉𝒇 = 𝟎. 𝟑𝟏𝟖𝟐 𝑾/(𝒎. 𝑲) independent of radius of the metal rod.
The temperature of the flame used was measured to be 379.5℃.

The boundary conditions are

From which 𝛿 can be got.
We can also go ahead and look at situations where there is natural convection
and other situations where the radius r is finite and not infinite.

  • 30. 𝑇 − 𝑇∞ 𝑇𝑠 − 𝑇∞ = 𝑒 −√( ℎ𝑃 𝐾𝐴 )𝑥 Plotting a graph of ln(𝑇 − 𝑇∞) against x (excluding temperature at x=0) gives an intercept 𝑙𝑛(𝑇𝑠 − 𝑇∞) from which 𝑇𝑠 can be measured but the value of 𝑇𝑠 got is not the value of the temperature of the flame at 𝑥 = 0(𝑻𝒇). THEORY There is a relationship between 𝑇𝑠 and temperature of the flame(𝑻𝒇) at 𝑥 = 0. First of all, we can postulate an existence of a flux at the beginning of the rod independent of time i.e., 𝑞̇|𝑥=0 = ℎ𝑓(𝑇𝑓 − 𝑇𝑠) Where: ℎ𝑓 = ℎ𝑒𝑎𝑡 𝑡𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑠𝑓𝑒𝑟 𝑐𝑜𝑒𝑓𝑓𝑖𝑐𝑖𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑓𝑙𝑢𝑖𝑑 𝑎𝑡 𝑏𝑒𝑔𝑖𝑛𝑛𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑜𝑓 𝑟𝑜𝑑 But we CAN’T equate this flux to 𝑞̇ = 𝑘 𝜕𝑇 𝜕𝑥 |𝑥=0 Because 𝑘 𝜕𝑇 𝜕𝑥 |𝑥=0 = 𝑘 (𝑇𝑠 − 𝑇∞) 𝛿
  • 31. We have already derived 𝛿 and it is a function of time and using it to get 𝑇𝑠 will cause 𝑇𝑠 to be a function of time yet a graph of 𝑥2 against time showed this is not true since 𝑇𝑠 is constant independent of time. We also can’t equate the above power (i.e., flux times area) to this power ℎ𝑓𝜋𝑟2 (𝑇𝑓 − 𝑇𝑠) ≠ ℎ2𝜋𝑟 ∫ (𝑇 − 𝑇∞)𝑑𝑥 𝑙=∞ 0 Because ℎ2𝜋𝑟 ∫ (𝑇 − 𝑇∞)𝑑𝑥 𝑙=∞ 0 = ℎ2𝜋𝑟𝛿(𝑇𝑠 − 𝑇∞) The above would also bring back 𝛿 which is a function of time and this would mean 𝑇𝑠 is a function of time which would contradict the observation of the graph 𝑥2 against time to be a straight-line graph. So, the only option we are left with is equating the fluxes at 𝒙 = 𝟎 below: 𝒉𝒇(𝑻𝒇 − 𝑻𝒔) = 𝒉(𝑻𝒔 − 𝑻∞) The expression above will give us a temperature 𝑇𝑠 independent of time since all the above factors don’t depend on time. We can make 𝑇𝑠 the subject of the formula and get: 𝑻𝒔 = 𝒉𝒇𝑻𝒇 + 𝒉𝑻∞ 𝒉 + 𝒉𝒇 From the above, it can be seen that 𝑇𝑠 is independent of time. From experiment, it was found that 𝒉𝒇 = 𝟎. 𝟑𝟏𝟖𝟐 𝑾/(𝒎.
