This happens if a PDE involves derivatives with respect to one variable only (or can be transformed to such a form), so that the other variable(s) can be treated as parameter(s). Solve for u = u(x. y):

Question
A laterally insulated bar of length 10 cm and constant cross-sectional area I cm2, of density 10.6 gmlcm3 , thermal conductivity 1.04 call( cm sec DC), and specific heat 0.056 cal/(gm DC) (this corresponds to silver, a good heat conductor) has initial temperature f(x) and is kept at ODC at the ends x = 0 and x = 10. Find the temperature u(x, t) at later times. Here, f(x) equals:
Solution
The first step in solving 12 problem number 5 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: A laterally insulated bar of length 10 cm and constant cross-sectional area I cm2, of density 10.6 gmlcm3 , thermal conductivity 1.04 call( cm sec DC), and specific heat 0.056 cal/(gm DC) (this corresponds to silver, a good heat conductor) has initial temperature f(x) and is kept at ODC at the ends x = 0 and x = 10. Find the temperature u(x, t) at later times. Here, f(x) equals:
From the textbook chapter Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
