Answer to Question #283547 in Differential Equations for Anu

Question

a) A rod of length 𝐿 has its ends 𝐴 and 𝐵 maintained at 20 °𝐶 and 40 °𝐶 respectively

until steady state condition prevail. The temperature at 𝐴 is suddenly raised to

50 °𝐶 while that at 𝐵 is lowered to 10 °𝐶 and maintained thereafter. Find the

subsequent temperature distribution of the rod.
