SUMMARY
The discussion centers on solving the heat equation represented by the equation -c + 3d = 0, derived from Fourier's law of heat conduction. The equation arises from the condition of perfect thermal contact at x=1, where the heat flow from both sides is equal. The relationship is established by substituting the thermal conductivities K1 and K2, leading to the conclusion that the derivatives of temperature with respect to x are constants. This analysis is essential for understanding heat transfer in thermal systems.
