Find the temperature u(x,t) in a bar of silver of length 10 cm and constant cross section of area 1 cm² (density 10.6 g/cm³, thermal conductivity 1.04 cal/(cm sec °C), specific heat 0.056 cal/(g °C) that is perfectly insulated laterally, with ends kept at temperatures 0°C and initial temperature f(x)°C, where f(x)=4-0.8|x-5|

The solution is represented via Fourier series

u(x,t)=n=1+BnsinnπxLeλn2t,\boxed{u(x,t)=\sum_{n=1}^{+\infty} B_n\sin\frac{n\pi x}{L}e^{-\lambda_n^2t},}

where:

  • LL is the length, λn\lambda_n is the nthn-th eigenvalue, computed as λn=ncπ/L\lambda_n=n c \pi/L.
  • c2c^2 is diffusivity, calculated as c=K/(σρ)c=\sqrt{K/(\sigma\rho)}.
  • BnB_n are coefficients computed as Bn=2L0Lf(x)sin(nπx/L) ⁣dxB_n=\frac{2}{L}\int\limits_0^L f(x)\sin(n\pi x/L)\dd{x}.

Since K=1.04 cal/(cm sec  C)K=1.04\ \textrm{cal}/(\textrm{cm} \ \cdot\textrm{sec}\ \cdot \ ^\circ \textrm{C} ), σ=0.056 cal/( C)\sigma=0.056\ \textrm{cal}/(\textrm{g}\ \cdot \ ^\circ \textrm{C}), ρ=10.0 g/cm3\rho=10.0\ \textrm{g}/\textrm{cm}^3 and L=10 cmL=10\ \textrm{cm}, we have

c1.32364,λn0.416n,λn20.172918n2.\boxed{c\approx 1.32364,\quad \lambda_n\approx0.416\cdot n,\quad \lambda_n^2\approx 0.172918\cdot n^2.}
