(Arbitrary temperatures at ends) If the ends x = 0 and x = L of the bar in the text are kept at constant temperatures \(\boldsymbol{U}_{1}\) and \(\boldsymbol{U}_{2}\), respectively, what is the temperature \(u_{I}(x)\) in the bar after a long time (theoretically, as \(t \rightarrow \infty\))? First guess, then calculate. \(\begin{array}{l} f(x)=x \text { if } 0<x<2.5, f(x)=2.5 \text { if } 2.5<x<7.5,\\ f(x)=10-x \text { if } 7.5<x<10 \end{array} \) Text Transcription: U_1 U_2 u_I(x) t rightarrow infinity

Question
(Convection) If heat in the bar in the text is free to flow through an end into the surrounding medium kept at \(0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), the PDE becomes \(v_{t}=c^{2} v_{x x}-\beta v\). Show that it can be reduced to the form (1) by setting v(x, t) = u(x, t)w(t).

Solution
The first step in solving 12.5 problem number 16 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: (Convection) If heat in the bar in the text is free to flow through an end into the surrounding medium kept at \(0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), the PDE becomes \(v_{t}=c^{2} v_{x x}-\beta v\). Show that it can be reduced to the form (1) by setting v(x, t) = u(x, t)w(t).Text Transcription:0 degree Cv_t=c^2v_xx - beta v
From the textbook chapter Heat Equation: Solution by Fourier Series you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
