SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on finding the analytical solution to the non-homogeneous heat equation defined by the equation c1*d2p/dz2 - dp/dt = -c2*cos(omega*t), with specific initial and boundary conditions. The initial condition is p(z,0) = 0, while the boundary conditions are p(z,t) = 0 for z = 0 (Dirichlet) and dp/dt = 0 for z = d (Neumann). The user expresses difficulty in locating solutions that accommodate both Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions. A recommendation is made to consult Lebedev's book on applied mathematics for a straightforward solution.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of partial differential equations (PDEs)
  • Familiarity with boundary value problems
  • Knowledge of Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions
  • Basic concepts of Fourier series and transforms
NEXT STEPS
  • Study Lebedev's book on applied mathematics for analytical solutions to PDEs
  • Research methods for solving non-homogeneous heat equations
  • Explore the application of Fourier series in solving boundary value problems
  • Learn about the separation of variables technique in PDEs
USEFUL FOR

Mathematicians, physicists, and engineers dealing with heat transfer problems, particularly those interested in solving partial differential equations with mixed boundary conditions.

I'm trying to find the analytical solution to the following equation:

c1*d2p/dz2-dp/dt = -c2*cos(omega*t)

where
- p is a function of spatial z and time t, p=p(z,t)
- d2p/dz2 is the second derivative of p wrt z
- dp/dt is the first derivative of p wrt t

c1, c2 and omega are constants.

Initial condition: p(z,0) = 0
Boundary condition 1: p(z,t) = 0 for z = 0
Boundary condition 2: dp/dt = 0 for z = d

Everywhere I have looked for solutions so far does not allow the combination of Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions or the spatial domain has to be infinite.

I hope someone can help here.

Thanks.
