Suppose heat is lost from the lateral surface of a thin rod of length L into a surrounding medium at temperature zero. If the linear law of heat transfer applies, then the heat equation has the form hu ,00 with h a constant. Find the temperature u(r,t) if the initial temperature is f(r) throughout and the ends r = 0 and z= L are held at temperature zero.
