4. PREFACE
In this book, we look at using the integral heat equation as the general method
of solving the heat equation subject to given boundary conditions. We begin
first by looking at x- directional heat conduction and look at the case of the
insulated metal rod first. It is known from literature that the Fourier series
yield a solution to this problem for given boundary conditions. But on
analyzing the solution got, we notice that it is made up of an infinite number of
terms and what this means is that we shall only have an approximate solution
since we canβt in practice add up all the terms to infinity. To solve this problem,
we solved the heat equation by first transforming it into an integral equation
and then find an exact solution as shall be shown in the text later. In solving
the heat equation, the temperature profiles that satisfy the heat equation are
exponential temperature profiles and hyperbolic temperature profiles as derived
in literature for heat conduction in fins. For this case of insulate metal rod, we
invoke Lβhopitalβs rule to get the steady state temperature profile. We then
extend this integral equation approach to the case where there is lateral
convection along the metal rod and get also both the transient and steady state
solution which agrees with theory for steady state heat conduction.
After that, we look at the case of radial heat flow. Again, in radial heat flow, the
temperature profiles that satisfy the boundary and initial conditions are the
exponential and hyperbolic functions as derived in literature of conduction in
fins. We use the same technique of transforming the PDE into an integral
equation. But in the case of radial heat flow, we have to multiply through by r
the heat equation and then introduce integrals. We do this to avoid introducing
integrals of the form of the exponential integral whose solutions cannot be
expressed in the form of a simple mathematical function. We look at the case of
a semi-infinite hollow cylinder for both insulated and non-insulated cases and
then find the solution. We also look at cases of finite radius hollow cylinders
subject to given boundary conditions. We notice that the solutions got for finite
radius hollow cylinders do not reduce to those of semi-infinite hollow cylinders
as was the case for x-directional heat flow. We conclude by saying that this
same analysis can be extended to spherical co-ordinates heat conduction.
5. X-DIRECTION HEAT FLOW
Wasswaderricktimothy7@gmail.com
X-DIRECTIONAL HEAT FLOW WITH NO LATERAL CONVECTION (OR
INSULATED METAL ROD)
The governing equation is:
πΌ
π2
π
ππ₯2
=
ππ
ππ‘
To get the steady state temperature, we simply substitute
ππ
ππ‘
= 0 ππ π π‘πππ¦ π π‘ππ‘π
And get:
π2
π
ππ₯2
= 0
We integrate the above equation to get the variation of temperature with
distance x i.e.,
ππ
ππ₯
= π1
π» = πππ + ππ
The condition above that the temperature is linear in distance x will help us to
solve for the transient state.
At π₯ = π₯1, π = π1 β΄ π1 = π1π₯1 + π2 β¦ (π΄)
At π₯ = π₯2, π = π2 β΄ π2 = π1π₯2 + π2 β¦ . (π΅)
(π΄ β π΅) πππππ π‘π π1 =
π1βπ2
π₯1βπ₯2
From A π2 = π1 β π1π₯1 = π1 β
π1βπ2
π₯1βπ₯2
π₯1
Substituting in the general solution, we get
π = π1π₯ + π2
6. π =
π1 β π2
π₯1 β π₯2
π₯ + π1 β
π1 β π2
π₯1 β π₯2
π₯1
π β π1 =
π1 β π2
π₯1 β π₯2
(π₯ β π₯1)
Since π₯2 > π₯1 as shown in the diagram above, we can rearrange and get
π β π1 = β(
π1 β π2
π₯2 β π₯1
)(π₯ β π₯1)
From
π = βππ΄
ππ
ππ₯
ππ
ππ₯
= β(
π1 β π2
π₯2 β π₯1
)
Upon substitution, we get:
π = ππ΄(
π1 β π2
π₯2 β π₯1
)
What we have found is that in flow in the x direction, in steady state the
temperature profile is negatively linear with distance x. But what about the
transient state? How do we predict it? That is what we are going to work on
below:
For the transient state there exists the separation of variables method which
yields an infinite series solution. But in this document, we are going to use the
integral equation method which will yield an exact solution not an infinite
series solution.
The governing equation is:
πΆ
ππ
π»
πππ
=
ππ»
ππ
We are going to deal with a variety of boundary conditions and initial condition.
7. THE INTEGRAL HEAT EQUATION METHOD.
We are going to use the integral equation transform method of the heat
equation to solve for the transient and steady state.
The integral transform works as below:
The governing equation is
πΌ
π2
π
ππ₯2
=
ππ
ππ‘
Let us change this equation into an integral equation as below:
πΌ β« (
π2
π
ππ₯2
) ππ₯
π
0
=
π
ππ‘
β« (π)ππ₯
π
0
Postulate 1:
Any temperature profile of the form
π = π΅π
ππ₯
πΏ
Where B is a constant and a can be a complex number (π), or -1 or +1 can solve
the heat equation.
This means that even hyperbolic and trigonometric functions can solve the
heat equation too.
For example, take a temperature profile where π = 1 and π΅ = π0
π = π0π
π₯
πΏ
π2
π
ππ₯2
=
π0
πΏ2
π
π₯
πΏ
β« (
π2
π
ππ₯2
) ππ₯
π
0
=
π0
πΏ
[π
πΏ
πΏ β 1]
What we have learned from the above integral is that
β« (
π2
π
ππ₯2
) ππ₯
π
0
= [
ππ
ππ₯
]
πΏ
0
Which we shall use in later text.
Anyway, to continue, let us evaluate
β« (π)ππ₯
π
0
= πΏ[π
πΏ
πΏ β 1]
8. Upon substitution in the heat equation, we get:
πΌ
π0
πΏ
[π
πΏ
πΏ β 1] =
π
ππ‘
[π0πΏ[π
πΏ
πΏ β 1]]
Thereβs a common term π0[π
πΏ
πΏ β 1] which we drop out and get:
πΌ
πΏ
=
ππΏ
ππ‘
We finally get
πΏ = β2πΌπ‘ + π
We finally substitute in the temperature profile to get:
π = π0π
π₯
β2πΌπ‘+π
Where c and π0are evaluated using the boundary and initial conditions.
It can be shown that hyperbolic temperature functions like ( π ππβππ₯ ππ πππ βππ₯)
too can solve the heat equation using the integral method above.
We conclude that the general temperature profile that solves the heat equation
is:
π = π΄π
π₯
πΏ + π΅π
βπ₯
πΏ
Where A and B are evaluated using the boundary conditions. From literature
for heat flow in extended surfaces (fins), we are going to use the derived
temperature profiles to solve for the transient state for no lateral convection in
metal rods.
Here the nature of m is substituted to be
π =
1
πΏ
Where πΏ(π‘) will be got by solving the heat equation.
The table below will give the required temperature profiles for given boundary
conditions [1]
9.
10. CASE 1: FIXED END TEMPERATURE
The initial and boundary conditions are:
π» = π»β ππ π = π
π» = π»ππ β π»β ππ π = π
π» = π»ππ β π»β ππ π = π³
We start with a temperature profile below:
π β πβ = π΄π
π₯
πΏ + π΅π
βπ₯
πΏ
We evaluate the constants A and B using the boundary conditions and get the
temperature profile below:
π β πβ
ππ1 β πβ
=
(
ππ2 β πβ
ππ1 β πβ
) π ππβ
π₯
πΏ
+ π ππβ
πΏ β π₯
πΏ
π ππβ
πΏ
πΏ
The temperature profile above can be referenced in textbooks for heat flow in
extended surfaces like in the book [1]
To show that the initial condition is satisfied we postulate that ππ‘ π‘ = 0, πΏ = 0
and get:
π β πβ
ππ1 β πβ
=
(
ππ2 β πβ
ππ1 β πβ
) π ππβ
π₯
πΏ
+ π ππβ
πΏ β π₯
πΏ
π ππβ
πΏ
πΏ
Let us show that the above postulate implies the initial condition
π β πβ
ππ1 β πβ
=
(
ππ2 β πβ
ππ1 β πβ
) π ππβ
π₯
πΏ
+ π ππβ
πΏ β π₯
πΏ
π ππβ
πΏ
πΏ
=
(
ππ2 β πβ
ππ1 β πβ
)(π

πΏ + π

πΏ + π
β(πΏβπ₯)
πΏ )
π
πΏ
πΏ β π
βπΏ
πΏ
π
β(πΏβπ₯)
πΏ = πβ
(πΏβπ₯)
0 = πββ(πΏβπ₯)
= 0
Similarly
π
βπΏ
πΏ = π
βπΏ
0 = πββπΏ
= 0
So, we are left with

)] +
π(ππβ)

π(ππβ)

Upon substitution of all the above in the heat equation, we get:

)
πππ β
πΏ

We notice that the term(ππ β πβ) (
β

+(π ππβ
πΏ
πΏ

βπΏπΏ
π
πππ β
πΏ

πΏ
+
βπΏπΏ
π
π ππβ
πΏ
πΏ
) is common and can be
eliminated:
πΌ
πΏ
=
ππΏ
ππ‘
We go ahead and solve for πΏ provided πΏ = 0ππ‘ π‘ = 0 and get the expression
πΏ = β2πΌπ‘
So, the final solution for the finite metal rod with convective flux at the end of
the metal rod is:
π» β π»β
π»π β π»β
= (
ππ¨π¬π‘ [
(π³ β π)
πΉ
] + (
ππ³πΉ
π
) π¬π’π§π‘ [(
π³ β π

ππ¨π¬π‘

OR
π» β π»β
π»π β π»β
=

(π³ β π)

)]
ππ¨π¬π‘
π³
βππΆπ
+ (
ππ³βππΆπ
π
)ππππ
π³
βππΆπ )
For the steady state solution, we set π‘ β β, but first let us first divide through
by πΏ and get:
π β πβ
ππ β πβ
= (
1
πΏ
cosh [
(πΏ β π₯)
πΏ
] + (
βπΏ

πΏ β π₯
πΏ
)]
1
πΏ
cosh
πΏ
πΏ
+ (
βπΏ
π
) π ππβ
πΏ
πΏ
)
17. Now set π‘ β β and get:
π β πβ
ππ β πβ
= (
0
0
)
Lβhopitalβs rule is then invoked i.e.,
πππ
π₯ β π
π(π₯)
π(π₯)
=
πππ
π₯ β π
πβ²
(π₯)
πβ²(π₯)
(i.e., differentiate the denominator and numerator with respect to
1
πΏ
) but we
differentiate with respect to the varying parameter and this is
1
πΏ
and get:
π β πβ
ππ β πβ
= (
(πΏ β π₯)
πΏ
sinh [
(πΏ β π₯)
πΏ
] + cosh [
(πΏ β π₯)
πΏ
] + (
βπΏ
π
) (πΏ β π₯)cosh [(
πΏ β π₯
πΏ

πΏ
πΏ
sinh
πΏ
πΏ
+ πππ β
πΏ
πΏ
+ (
βπΏ
π
)πΏπππ β
πΏ
πΏ
)
We now substitute π‘ = β in the formula above and get:
π» β π»β
π»π β π»β
= (
π + (
ππ³
π
)(π³ β π)
π + (
ππ³
π
) π³
)
The above is the steady state solution and it shows temperature is linearly
negative in x.
18. CASE 3: NO CONVECTION AT THE FREE END
The boundary and initial conditions are:
π» = π»π ππ π = π
π π»
π π
= π ππ π = π
π» = π»β ππ π = π
Recall the compact temperature profile that satisfies the boundary and initial
conditions is [2]:
π β πβ
ππ β πβ
=
cosh[
(πΏ β π₯)
πΏ
]
cosh
πΏ
πΏ
Again, solving the heat equation using the temperature profile above yields
πΏ = β2πΌπ‘
For steady state conditions we set π‘ β β
And get:
π β πβ
ππ β πβ
= 1
Hence temperature will be uniformly ππ throughout the metal rod.
19. CASE 4: SEMI-INFINITE ROD CASE
The boundary and initial conditions are:
π» = π»π ππ π = π
π» = π»β ππ π = β
π» = π»β ππ π = π
The temperature profile that satisfies the boundary and initial conditions is:
π β πβ
ππ β πβ
= π
βπ₯
πΏ
Again, solving the heat equation using the temperature profile above yields
πΏ = β2πΌπ‘
For steady state conditions we set π‘ β β
And get:
π β πβ
ππ β πβ
= 1
Hence temperature will be uniformly ππ throughout the metal rod. This analysis
can be extended to cases where there is lateral convection along the metal rod
and yield π = β
βπ
ππ΄
in steady state.
20. HEAT CONDUCTION WITH LATERAL CONVECTION IN x DIRECTION
The governing conduction equation is:
πΌ
π2
π

β
βπ
π΄ππΆ
(π β πβ) =

21. CASE1: SEMI-INFINITE CASE WITH LATERAL CONVECTION:
The boundary and initial conditions are
π» = π»π ππ π = π πππ πππ π
π» = π»β ππ π = β
π» = π»β ππ π = π
Where: π»β = ππππ πππππππππππ
First, we assume a temperature profile that satisfies the boundary conditions as:
π β πβ
ππ β πβ
= π
βπ₯
πΏ
where πΏ is to be determined and is a function of time t and not x.
for the initial condition, we assume πΏ = 0 at π‘ = 0 seconds so that the initial
condition is satisfied i.e.,
Since at π‘ = 0, πΏ = 0 we get
π β πβ
ππ β πβ
= π
βπ₯
0 = πββ
= 0
Hence
π = πβ
Which is the initial condition.
The governing partial differential equation is:
πΌ

(π β πβ) =

Let us change transform the heat equation into an integral equation as below:

22. But for a semi-infinite cylindrical rod, π = β, upon substitution, we get

π

=
(ππ β πβ)
πΏ
β« (π β πβ)ππ₯

But π = β, upon substitution, we get

π = (ππ β πβ)π
βπ₯
πΏ + πβ

Substitute π = β and get

π

Substituting the above expressions in equation b) above, we get

From the equation above, we notice that the initial condition is satisfied i.e.,

The equation above predicts the transient state and in steady state (π‘ = β) it
reduces to

What are the predictions of the transient state?

24. CASE2: CONVECTION AT THE END OF A FINITE METAL ROD
The boundary and initial conditions are:
π» = π»π ππ π = π

π π
= ππ³(π» β π»β) ππ π = π
π» = π»β ππ π = π
This same analysis can be extended to a metal rod with convection at the other
end of the metal rod where the temperature profile is given by: [2]
π β πβ
ππ β πβ
=
cosh[π(πΏ β π₯)] + (

Which is a cubic function and can be solved to get πΏ as a function of time t.
You notice that the initial condition is satisfied for the above temperature
profile.
33. 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.
34. CASE 2: FIXED END TEMPERATURE
The initial and boundary conditions are:
π» = π»β ππ π = π
π» = π»ππ β π»β ππ π = π
π» = π»ππ β π»β ππ π = π³
We start with a temperature profile below:
π β πβ = π΄π
π₯
πΏ + π΅π
βπ₯
πΏ
We evaluate the constants A and B using the boundary conditions and get the
temperature profile below:
π β πβ

ππ2 β πβ
ππ1 β πβ
) π ππβ
π₯
πΏ
+ π ππβ
πΏ β π₯
πΏ
π ππβ
πΏ
πΏ
The temperature profile above can be referenced in textbooks for heat flow in
extended surfaces like in the bookInvalid source specified.
To transform the above equation to cylindrical co-ordinates, we use the
substitutions,
πΏ = (π2 β π1)
And
π₯ = π β π1
And the temperature profile becomes:
π β πβ
ππ1 β πβ
=

πΏ β π₯
πΏ
(π2 β π1)πππ β

We then substitute
πΏ = β2πΌπ‘ = β
And get
π β πβ
ππ1 β πβ
=
(π β π1) (
ππ2 β πβ
ππ1 β πβ
) + (π2 β π)
(π2 β π1)
Upon substitution, we get:

π»ππ β π»β
=
(π β ππ) (
π»ππ β π»β
π»ππ β π»β
) + (ππ β π)
(ππ β ππ)
Hence, we get a temperature profile linear in radius r in steady state but this
temperature profile is in contrast to the logarithmic temperature profile expected.
So, we have to choose which theory we take to be true.
The other thing we notice is that the solution we have got doesnβt reduce to the
one of the semi-infinite solution when the radius π2 tends to infinity.
41. CASE3: CONVECTION AT THE FREE END

For cylindrical co-ordinates we make the substitutions
πΏ = (π2 β π1)
And

And the temperature profile becomes:

Similarly

Hence at π‘ = 0, π = πβ and hence the initial condition.
We use this temperature profile which satisfies the initial condition to solve the
heat equation and get πΏ as shown below:

48. Lβhopitalβs rule can be used to find the steady state temperature when time
tends to infinity.
Again, we notice that the temperature profile above doesnβt reduce to the semi-
infinite temperature profile when π2 tends to infinity because both solutions
have different values of πΏ.
49. CASE4: ZERO CONVECTION AT THE FREE END
The boundary and initial conditions are:
π» = π»π ππ π = ππ
π π»
π π
= π ππ π = ππ
π» = π»β ππ π = π
Recall the compact temperature profile that satisfies the boundary and initial
conditions is [2]:
π β πβ
ππ β πβ
=
cosh (
π2 β π
πΏ
)
cosh (
π2 β π1
πΏ
)
πΌ
π2
π
ππ2
+ πΌ
1
π
ππ
ππ
=
ππ
ππ‘
So, the temperature profile we are going to use is:
π» β π»β = π¨ ππ¨π¬π‘ (
ππ β π
πΉ
)
Where:
π΄ =
(ππ β πβ)
cosh
(π2 β π1)
πΏ
Multiplying through by r the heat equation becomes:
πΌπ
π2
π
ππ2
+ πΌ
ππ
ππ
=
πππ
ππ‘
Transforming the PDE into an integral equation, we get:
πΌ [β« (π

π
ππ2
) ππ
π2
π1
+ β« [
ππ
ππ
] ππ
π2
π1
] =

β« (ππ)ππ
π2

Let us evaluate the integral
β« (π

π
ππ2
)ππ
π2
π1
52. Substituting all the above in the integral equation, we get
πΌ [
π΄π1
πΏ
sinh (
π2 β π1
πΏ
)] =
π
ππ‘
[π΄ (π1πΏ sinh (
π2 β π1
πΏ
) + πΏ2 [cosh (
π2 β π1
πΏ
) β 1])]
Now let us collect like terms i.e., let us collect terms in A separately and get:
πΌ
π΄π1
πΏ
sinh (
π2 β π1
πΏ
) =
π
ππ‘
[π΄ (π1πΏ sinh (
π2 β π1
πΏ
) + πΏ2 [cosh (
π2 β π1
πΏ
) β 1])]
Cancelling out A we get:
πΌ [
π1
πΏ
sinh (
π2 β π1
πΏ
)] =
π
ππ‘
[(π1πΏ sinh (
π2 β π1
πΏ
) + πΏ2 [cosh (
π2 β π1
πΏ
) β 1])]
Here is the catch lets us expand sinh (
π2βπ1
πΏ
) and cosh (
π2βπ1
πΏ
) into exponentials
and get:
Calling
π½ =
π2 β π1
πΏ
πΌ [
π1
πΏ
sinh π½] =
π
ππ‘
[(π1πΏ sinh π½ + πΏ2[coshπ½ β 1])]
Now we have:
πΌ [
π1
πΏ
(
ππ½
β πβπ½
2
)] =
π
ππ‘
[(π1πΏ(
ππ½
β πβπ½
2
) + πΏ2 [(
ππ½
+ πβπ½
2
) β 1])]
Collecting like terms i.e., terms in ππ½
and πβπ½
and constant terms and get:
πΌ [
π1
πΏ
(
ππ½
2
)] =
π
ππ‘
[(π1πΏ(
ππ½
2
) + πΏ2
(
ππ½
2
))]
Dropping out ππ½
we get:
πΌ [
π1
πΏ
] =
π
ππ‘
[(π1πΏ + πΏ2)] β¦ . π΄
Similarly collecting terms in πβπ½
we get:
πΌ [
π1
πΏ
(
βπβπ½
2
)] =
π
ππ‘
[(π1πΏ(
βπβπ½
2
) + πΏ2 [(
+πβπ½
2
)])]
Dropping out the πβπ½
we get:
53. πΌ [
π1
πΏ
] =
π
ππ‘
[(π1πΏ β πΏ2)] β¦ β¦ π΅
Collecting out the βconstantβ terms we have:
0 =
π
ππ‘
[(βπΏ2)]
So, what we have is
π
ππ‘
[(πΏ2)] = 0 β¦ π·
We are going to substitute equation P in equations M and N and get
From equation M, we have:
πΌ [
π1
πΏ
] =
π(π1πΏ)
ππ‘
+
π(πΏ2
)
ππ‘
But from equation P, we have
π
ππ‘
[(πΏ2)] = 0
So, we end with
πΌ [
π1
πΏ
] =
π(π1πΏ)
ππ‘
+ 0
Upon simplification, we have:
πΌ
πΏ
=
ππΏ
ππ‘
β¦ . π±
Similarly, from equation N, we have
πΌ [
π1
πΏ
] =
π(π1πΏ)
ππ‘
β
π(πΏ2
)
ππ‘
But from equation P, we have:
π
ππ‘
[(πΏ2)] = 0
So, we end with:
πΌ [
π1
πΏ
] =
π(π1πΏ)
ππ‘
β 0
We finally end with:
54. πΌ
πΏ
=
ππΏ
ππ‘
β¦ π²
We see that equation K and J are similar and so we solve for πΏ to get:
πΏ = β2πΌπ‘
We finally substitute in the temperature profile to get:
π β πβ
ππ β πβ
=
cosh (
π2 β π
πΏ
)
cosh (
π2 β π1
πΏ
)
OR
π β πβ

=

This same analysis can be extended to a metal rod with convection at the other

Similarly

Hence at π‘ = 0, π = πβ and hence the initial condition.
We use this temperature profile which satisfies the initial condition to solve the

Again, we notice that the temperature profile above doesnβt reduce to the semi-
infinite temperature profile when π2 tends to infinity because both solutions
have different values of πΏ.
It can be shown that other transient boundary value problems where the

This same analysis can be extended to spherical co-ordinates.
68. CONCLUSION
It should be noted that these equations are the ideal solutions of heat flow and
that experimental results are needed to verify the nature of some parameters
like the nature of the heat transfer coefficient at the end of the metal rod βπΏ.
Also, experimental results are needed to verify the transient nature of the heat
flow.
