4.1 One-dimensional heat equation- strong form (stationary flow)
• T(x) – temperature distribution [K]
• A(x) – cross section area [m]
• Q – internal heat source [J/s m] or [W/m]
Strong Form : • Differential equation• Boundary conditions• Region
Balance equation
• Study an infinitely small part of the 1-D body
H - Heat flow [J/s] or [W]
Heat balance:(Input positive)

Balance equation, contdbut
The balance equation becomes:
H - Heat flow [J/s] or [W]q – Heat flux [W/m2]

4.4 Weak form of one-dimensional heat flow
• Start with differential eq.
• Multiply with arbitrary weight function, v(x)
• Integrate over region
• Integrate by parts

1. integral equation
2. essential boundary condition (Temperature boundary cond.)
4.4 Advantages of the weak formulation
• only first derivatives of the temperature
• simpler approximating functions can be used
• discontinuities are allowed
