Understanding Conduction and the Heat Equation

In this video we take a look at conduction and the heat equation. Fourier's law is used to calculate the rate at which heat is transferred through an object due to conduction. But it can only be applied if the temperature distribution within the body is known. To determine the temperature distribution, the heat equation needs to be solved. ...
