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
(Heat flow in a plate) The faces of the thin square plate in Fig. 294 with side a = 24 are perfectly insulated. The upper side is kept at 20C and tl1e other sides are kept at OC. Find the steady-state temperature II(X, y) in the plate.
Solution
The first step in solving 12 problem number 31 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: (Heat flow in a plate) The faces of the thin square plate in Fig. 294 with side a = 24 are perfectly insulated. The upper side is kept at 20C and tl1e other sides are kept at OC. Find the steady-state temperature II(X, y) in the plate.
From the textbook chapter Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
