possible. For the IB VPs given below, use a function of the form
u{x, t) = U(x, t) 4- A(t)x

in an effort to transform the nonhomogeneous IBVP to a semihomogeneous IBVP. If
possible, solve the original IBVP. In each case, (i) specify formulas for the nonhomo-
geneous term

of the PDE for U(x, t), the initial condition /* of the semihomoge-
neous IBVP in U(x, t), and formulas for A(t) and B(t), (ii) specify the appropriate
eigenvalues and orthonormal eigenfunctions, (iii) provide a clear integral formula for
any Fourier series coefficients that need to be determined, and (iv) create a 3D plot
of the temperature u(x, t) over an appropriate domain.

5.6 Suppose a sphere of radius 4 is submerged in a fluid of temperature 20°C and
the initial temperature of the sphere is f(r) = 10/(1 + r) °C. Take the boundary
condition at r = 4 to be Dirichlet, u(4) = 20. Use the methods outlined in Section
5.4 to determine the temperature of the sphere as a function of r and t. Generate a
plot of the temperature over the interval 0 < r < 2 for 0 < t < 10. Use κ

0.1.
5.7 A solid sphere of radius c
is
surrounded by a
fluid
kept at
a
constant temperature
of 40°C. Applying Newton's law of cooling and Fourier's law of heat transfer, the
boundary condition at r = c is
hu(c, t) + KU
r
(c, t) = hT
s
where n is the thermal conductivity of the material and h is the surface conductance.
Suppose a sphere of radius 2 is submerged in a fluid of temperature 40 °C and the
initial temperature of the sphere is 10°C. Use the methods outlined in Section 5.4
to determine the temperature of the sphere as a function of r and t. Generate a plot
of the temperature over the interval 0<r<2for0<¿<10. Let κ — 0.1 and
Λ
= 0.1.
5.8 In Exercise 4.13, the PDE for ID heat transfer was derived for the case of
surface heat transfer along the later length of
a
slender wire. It is the PDE associated
