Partial Differential Equations 
Definition 
One of the classical partial differential equation of 
mathematical physics is the equation describing 
the conduction of heat in a solid body (Originated 
in the 18th century). And a modern one is the 
space vehicle reentry problem: Analysis of transfer 
and dissipation of heat generated by the friction 
with earth’s atmosphere.

For example: 
Consider a straight bar with uniform cross-section and 
homogeneous material. We wish to develop a model for 
heat flow through the bar. 
Let u(x,t) be the temperature on a cross section 
located at x and at time t. We shall follow some basic 
principles of physics: 
A. The amount of heat per unit time flowing through a 
unit of cross-sectional area is proportional to 
with constant of proportionality k(x) called the 
thermal conductivity of the material. 
¶u / ¶x 
admission.edhole.com
B. Heat flow is always from points of higher 
temperature to points of lower temperature. 
C. The amount of heat necessary to raise the 
temperature of an object of mass “m” by an amount Du 
is a “c(x) m Du”, where c(x) is known as the specific 
heat capacity of the material. 
Thus to study the amount of heat H(x) flowing from left 
to right through a surface A of a cross section during the 
time interval Dt can then be given by the formula: 
H x k x area t u

Likewise, at the point x + Dx, we 
have 
Heat flowing from left to right across the plane during 
an time interval Dt is: 
+ D = - + D D ¶ 
( ) ( )( of B) t u (x x,t). 
H x x k x x area + D 
t 
¶ 
If on the interval [x, x+Dx], during time Dt , additional 
heat sources were generated by, say, chemical reactions, 
heater, or electric currents, with energy density Q(x,t), 
then the total change in the heat DE is given by the 
formula: 
admission.edhole.com
DE = Heat entering A - Heat leaving B + Heat 
generated . 
And taking into simplification the principle C above, 
DE = c(x) m Du, where m = r(x) DV . After dividing by 
(Dx)(Dt), and taking the limits as Dx , and Dt ® 0, we 
get:

Boundary and Initial conditions 
Remark on boundary conditions and initial condition 
on u(x,t). 
We thus obtain the mathematical model for the heat 
flow in a uniform rod without internal sources (p = 0) 
with homogeneous boundary conditions and initial 
temperature distribution f(x), the follolwing Initial 
Boundary Value Problem:

The method of separation of

Boundary Conditions 
Imply that we are looking for a non-trivial solution 
X(x), satisfying: 
X x kX x 
- = 
''( ) ( ) 0 
X X L 
= = 
(0) ( ) 0 
We shall consider 3 cases: 
k = 0, k > 0 and k < 0. 
admission.edhole.com
Case (i): k = 0. In this case we have 
 X(x) = 0, trivial solution 
Case (ii): k > 0. Let k = l2, then the D.E gives X¢ ¢ - 
l2 X = 0. The fundamental solution set is: { e lx, e -lx }. A 
general solution is given by: X(x) = c1 e lx + c2 e -lx 
X(0) = 0 Þ c1 + c2 = 0, and 
X(L) = 0 Þ c1 e lL + c2 e -lL = 0 , hence 
 c1 (e 2lL -1) = 0 Þ c1 = 0 and so is c2 = 0 . 
Again we have trivial solution X(x) º 0 . 
admission.edhole.com
Finally Case (iii) when k < 0. 
We again let k = - l2 , l > 0. The D.E. becomes: 
X ¢ ¢ (x) + l2 X(x) = 0, the auxiliary equation is 
r2 + l2 = 0, or r = ± l i . The general solution: 
X(x) = c1 e ilx + c2 e -ilx or we prefer to write: 
X(x) = c1 cos l x + c2 sin l x. Now the boundary conditions 
X(0) = X(L) = 0 imply: 
 c1 = 0 and c2 sin l L= 0, for this to happen, we need l L 
= np , i.e. l = np /L or k = - (np /L ) 2. 
We set Xn(x) = an sin (np /L)x, n = 1, 2, 3, ...

the boundary conditions. To satisfy the initial 
condition, we try : 
Finally for T ¢(t) - bkT(t) = 0, k = - l2 . 
We rewrite it as: T ¢ + b l2 T = 0. Or T ¢ = - b l2 
T . We see the solutions are
u(x,t) = å un(x,t), over all n.
