Homework Statement
Show that the temperature distribution in an infinitely long cylinder of metal with insulated sides and initial distribution
u(x, 0) = 0, the absolute value of x < L
u0, the absolute value of x > L
where u0 is a constant, is given for t >0, by
u(x, t) = (1/2)u0[2 - erf((x +L)/(√4c2t)) + erf((x - L)/(√4c2t))
Homework Equations
u(x, t) = 1/√4∏c2t∫e-(x - y)2/4c2t f(y) dy bounds = -∞<x<∞
The Attempt at a Solution
= (u0/√4∏c2t)∫e-(x - y)24c2tdy
Then I know you make a change of variables but I am having trouble with finding my new bounds of integration after I make the change of variables?
