Consider a cylindrical rod of length L made from a thermally isotropic material with heat conductivity k. The lateral cylindrical surface as well as both end surfaces of the bar are insulated. The initial temperature distribution in the rod at time t=to= 0 is given by: [T, =const., 0≤x≤L/2 T(x,t=t,0)=f(x) = - 0, L/2≤x≤L a) State the complete initial value problem. b) Calculate the temperature distribution T(x,t).
