    Derivation and solution of the heat equation in 1-D
    (International Journal of Engineering, Science and Mathematics, 2013-06-01) Kwach, Boniface Otieno; Ongati, Omolo; Alambo, David; Okaka, Colleta A.
    Heat flows in the direction of decreasing temperature, that is, from hot to cool. In this paper we derive the heat equation and consider the flow of heat along a metal rod. The rod allows us to consider the temperature, u(x,t), as one dimensional in x but changing in time, t.
