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
(Changing end temperatures) Assume that the ends of the bar in Probs. 5-9 have been kept at 100DC for a long time. Then at some instant. call it t = 0, the temperature at x = L is suddenly changed to ODC and kept at ODC, whereas the temperature at x = 0 is kept at 100De. Find the temperature in the middle of the bar at t = L 2. 3, 10, 50 sec. First guess, then calculate.
Solution
The first step in solving 12 problem number 12 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: (Changing end temperatures) Assume that the ends of the bar in Probs. 5-9 have been kept at 100DC for a long time. Then at some instant. call it t = 0, the temperature at x = L is suddenly changed to ODC and kept at ODC, whereas the temperature at x = 0 is kept at 100De. Find the temperature in the middle of the bar at t = L 2. 3, 10, 50 sec. First guess, then calculate.
From the textbook chapter Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
