Solution of the Heat Diffusion Equation by the Method of Separation of Variables

Solution of the Heat Diffusion Equation by the Method of Separation of Variables

Rating:

(0)
Author: Miguel Ramirez
Description:

This tutorial is designed to explain to AP Calculus AB students, how to obtain the heat diffusion equation in one dimension combining conservation principles and the Fourier Heat Law, and how to solve this equation using the separation of variables method

Combining the Fourier Heat Law and the Conservation of Energy Principle, the heat diffusion equation, in one dimension, for a homogenous and isotropic media is obtained. Then, for homogenous boundary conditions, and using the Separation of Variables Method, a solution is obtained. Next, students will write the equivalent code in MS-Excel VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) for this solution, to visualize how this solution gives the values for temperature at given positions and times.
