Diffusion Equations and Boundary Conditions
Hello, I have a test coming up soon and I don't understand how to solve the kind of problem as given below. Please provide some explanation in the solution. Thanks in advance,
Eriko
Consider
the
diffusion
equation
€
φt = a
2
φxx + x
3
, −L ≤ x ≤ L
with
initial
condition
€
φ(x,0) =1
(i) Suppose
the
boundary
conditions
are
€
φ(−L,t) = 0 φ(L,t) = 0
Does
an
equilibrium
solution
exist?
If so,
solve
for
it.
(ii) Suppose
the
boundary
conditions
are
€
φ(−L,t) = 0 φx (L,t) = 0
Does
an
equilibrium
solution
exist?
If
so,
solve
for
it.
(iii) Suppose
the
boundary
conditions
are
€
φ(−L,t) =1 φx (L,t) = 0
Does
an
equilibrium
solution exist?
If
so,
solve
for
it.

Hello and thank you for posting your question to Brainmass!
The solution is attached below in two files. the files are identical in content, only differ in format. The first is in MS Word format, while the other is in Adobe pdf format. Therefore you can choose the format that is most suitable to you.
Equilibrium (steady state) equation requires that:
(1.1)
This means that the function is a ...
