Initial Conditions and Temperature Change

• Scenario involves taking a piece of glass initially at room temperature.

  • Initial temperature (u) at time (t) = 0: 20 degrees Celsius.

  • Outside temperature is freezing.

Key Equations and Transformations

• Assume the heat equation is expressed as (0) for freezing.

• For mathematical representation:

  • u at (t=0) = 20°C

• When substituting into equations:

  • Leads to assumptions about how u changes connected to distance (x) and temperature (t).

Separation of Variables

• Equation manipulation isolates factors dependent on x and t:

  • The left-hand side depends solely on t, the right side only on x.

  • Results suggest it is a constant value.

• Regular separation into sine and cosine functions occurs in boundary conditions.

  • General solution shows temporal decay of components in the series.

Orthogonality of Functions

• The orthogonality of sine functions is explored:

  • Defined through integration from 0 to 1.

  • Integral of sine squared evaluates to a constant when terms are equal.

• Utilizes the mean value property of sine functions across the interval.

Temperature Distribution

• Evaluating temperature with constant boundaries:

  • If n equals m (same terms), the result leads to non-zero evaluations.

  • Findings show behavior of coefficients (C_m) relates to initial temperature and decay factors.

Steady State Solution

• Establishing steady-state when conditions stabilize:

  • Steady state solution differentiates from the evolving temperature.

• For example, maintaining boundary conditions inside (20°C) and outside (0°C).

  • Solution yields a linear transition of temperature across the medium over time.

Finite Differences Over Time

• The behavior changes rapidly as time increases:

  • High frequencies described become negligible quickly due to e^{-t} decay effects.

• First term approximation provides relevant results with significant temperature drops per increment.

Numerical Evaluation of Examples

• Evaluating terms in practical scenarios improves approximation:

  • At t equals 1/3, e^{-(3/20)} calculates to find closer average temperature readings.

• The first term strength matters in extracting overall behavior.

Conclusion and Implications

• In real-world examples (like a heated car in outside cold):

  • Initial temperature is far higher than the outside.

  • Heat exchange ultimately lowers internal temperature engaging with effectiveness of solutions discussed.

• Solution simplicities rely on clear initial conditions and effective constant measures.
