Abstract
Imagine that we have a silver rod 10 centimeters long with a constant cross section. The rod is encased in thermal insulation along its entire length so that no heat can enter or leave except at its ends. It is initially at a temperature of 0°C. At time t = 0, heat sources are placed in contact with its left and right ends. The left heat source has a temperature of 100°C, and the right heat source has a temperature of 50°C.
