Can anyone tell me if there exist analytical solution to the Fourier heat equation
rhoCdt/dt= ∇.(k∇T) + S
Thanks
rhoCdt/dt= ∇.(k∇T) + S
Thanks

SUMMARY
The Fourier heat equation, represented as ρC∂T/∂t = ∇.(k∇T) + S, has established analytical solutions as discussed in the forum. The primary reference for these solutions is the book "Conduction of Heat in Solids" by Carslaw and Jaeger. This text provides comprehensive methodologies for solving the equation under various boundary conditions and material properties.
