4.7 Solve the 1-D heat partial differential equation (PDE)

The PDE is

\[ \frac {\partial T\left ( x,t\right ) }{\partial t}=k\frac {\partial ^{2}T\left ( x,t\right ) }{\partial x^{2}} \]

Problem: given a bar of length \(L\) and initial conditions \(T\left ( x,0\right ) =\sin \left ( \pi x\right ) \) and boundary conditions \(T\left ( 0,t\right ) =0,T\left ( L,t\right ) =0\), solve the above PDE and plot the solution on 3D.

Use bar length of \(4\) and \(k=0.5\) and show the solution for \(1\) second.

Mathematica Clear[y,x,t]; barLength = 4; timeDuration = 1; eq = D[y[x, t], t] == k*D[y[x, t], x, x]; eq = eq /. k -> 0.5; boundaryConditions = {y[0,t]==0, y[barLength,t]==0}; initialConditions = y[x,0]==Sin[Pi x]; sol=First@NDSolve[{eq, boundaryConditions,initialConditions}, y[x,t],{x,0,barLength},{t,0,timeDuration}]; y = y[x,t]/.sol Plot3D[y,{x,0,barLength},{t,0,timeDuration}, PlotPoints->30,PlotRange->All, AxesLabel->{"x","time","T[x,t]"}, ImageSize->300]
