0.5 Green's Functions

0.5 Green's Functions

  • Nuclear reaction produces heat inside a fuel rod.
  • The temperature variation along a rod's length is less than along a radius because the rod is 3 m long and 1 cm in diameter.
    • The rod's temperature is treated as a function of the radial variable alone.

  • We need to know the derivative of the function.

  • Let's apply the boundary condition.

  • The two integrals can be combined into one.
  • The formula was given in Eq.
  • The Green's function can be solved by constructing it.

  • The boundary conditions need to be satisfied.

  • This is the correct solution.
    • There are many ways to arrive at the same result.
    • It's an efficient way to get the solution.
  • Let's take a look at the calculations and see if there is a problem.

  • We summarize in a conclusion.

  • A unique solution is given when it exists.

  • We might try to get a solution by the usual method.
  • There is no solution to the problem stated.
  • 2 as the case may be.

  • The Green's function is stated in the exercises.

  • Review questions can be found on the CD.
  • The given boundary value problem can be solved in Exercises 1-15.

  • The equation is not straight forward.

  • The interval should be noted.

  • To find a second independent solution of the differential equation, use a variation of parameters.
    • The solution is given in parentheses.

  • The boundary value problem can be solved in closed form.

  • A straight shaft has violent behavior at certain times of rotation.

  • The existence of nonzero solutions to the boundary value problem can be found with a formula for the values of angular velocity.

  • Air pollutantSO2 reacts with water to form sulphuric acid.
    • Acid rain occurs if the water is in the air or in the snow.

  • The concentration is in the air.

  • 2 is related to stress.

  • Show that the relation is a differential equation.
