Eigenfunction Analysis in Heat Transfer

This document contains 5 questions from a math assignment on partial differential equations and heat transfer. The questions cover topics like eigenfunctions of a bar, comparing PDEs, solving the heat equation for a bar with given initial and boundary conditions, determining the steady state temperature profile in a bar, and finding the temperature over time at the center of a bar when one end condition changes.

ASSIGNMENT:
QUESTION NO:01
If the first eigen function (8) of the bar decreases to half its value within 20 sec, what is the value of the
diffusivity?

QUESTION NO:02
Compare these PDEs with respect to general behavior of eigen functions and kind of boundary and initial
conditions. State the difference between Fig. 291 in Sec. 12.3 and Fig. 295(In Book).

QUESTION NO:03
Find the temperature in a bar of silver of length 10 cm and constant cross section of area
(density10.6g/cm3) , thermal conductivity , specific heat that is perfectly insulated laterally, with ends
kept at temperature and initial temperature ,where
f(x) =4- 0.8 |x-5|

QUESTION NO:04
If the ends x=0 and of the bar in the text are kept at constant temperatures and respectively, what is the
temperature in the bar after a long time (theoretically, as )? First guess, then calculate.

QUESTION NO:05
Assume that the ends of the bar in Probs. 5–7 have been kept at for a long time. Then at some instant,
call it the temperature at is suddenly changed to and kept at , whereas the temperature at is kept at .
Find the temperature in the middle of the bar at t=1,2,3,10,50 sec. First guess, then calculate.
