Differential equations are fundamental importance in engineering mathematics because any physical law s and relations appear mathematically in the form of such equations. . The rate of heat conduc- tion in a specified direction is proportional to the temperature gradient, which is the rate of change in temperature with distance in that direction.
In this paper we discussed about first order linear homogeneous equations, first order linear non homogeneous and the application of first order differential equation to heat transfer analysis particularly in heat conduction in solids.
Introduction
Conclusion
Finding the temperature distribution in the rod is T (x) ? 216.67 ? 94.97x ?C / m by the method of solution of first order ordinary differential equation. This same procedure is often utilized in Heat convection in fluids and Radiation of heat in space. This application is useful for solving several different types of Fluid Mechanics Analysis. Fundamentally, it consists of finding optimal solution of first order ordinary linear homogeneous equations and first order ordinary linear non homogeneous equations.
