    We start with a one-dimensional long and thin cylindrical rod which has heat flowing through it from left to right. We calculate the change in the internal energy for a short section between x=a and a+h (for small h) using Liebniz Rule. This must be equal to the heat flux in minus the heat flux out of the segment.
    By dividing both sides of the equation by h and taking the limit as h tends to zero we arrive at the first equation relating the temperature to the heat flux. We then use Fourier’s Law which relates the heat flux to the temperature gradient to rewrite the equation in terms of only the temperature. Finally, the extension of the equation to 2D and 3D is discussed.

    18:02 That is just a simple L'Hospital rule. The denominator h tends to 0, and the nominator, the integral, also tends to 0. Differentiating both yields the derivative of the integral, over 1. Taking the limit as h goes to 0 we simply get the the argument of the previous integral evaluated at a.

    I think that, for the LHS, it would have been clearer if you had relied on the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus:
    int_a^b f(x) dx = F(b) - F(a)
    with dF(x)/dx = f(x) so that:
    1/h ( int_a^{a+h} f(x) dx = 1/h (F(a+h) - F(a))
    whose limit is more obviously the required derivative.

  • @samicalvo4560
    @samicalvo4560 Рік тому +3

    For those wondering how do you rigorously proof that the limit of that integral divided by h is just the integrand, here's the proof:
    The limit is for h tending to 0, the integral from x to x+h and I call the integrand "A" (a function of x):
    lim((Integral(A)/h)= lim[(F[A(x+h)] - F[A(x)])/h] = dF/dx=A(x)
    Where F is the primitive and therefore, by definition, dF/dx is the integrand. QED

    Couple of points when you are mentioning specific heat capacity you need to mention that there are two- the specific heat capacity at constant volume and the specific heat capacity at constant pressure. For solids they are identical but for gases they are different. The integral for internal heat is not required if you assume that the material is homogeneous and the temperature is evenly distributed along the y axis. k is seen as old hat for thermal conductivity and new symbols used by the heat transfer community . You will find most new books use lambda for thermal conductivity and alpha for heat transfer coefficients. A good introduction.

  • @TheLethalDomain
    @TheLethalDomain 2 роки тому +3

    Fun fact after I worked through this further. If you make the time derivative a second derivative and replace kappa with the speed of light squared, you get the wave equation. By setting it up in 3D with the Laplacian and dividing the speed of light squared on both sides of the equation, you can pull the spacial derivatives over, negating them from the temporal derivative with a factor of 1/c^2. This yields the d'Alembert operator acting on a perturbation. Generalizing the perturbation function as a tensor such that space and time act on equal footing yields the gravitational wave equation (e.g the d'Alembert acting on the perturbation tensor = 0).

    So A is mall enough that heat is the same everywhere in the area, but large enough that a change in A results in a change in the mass of the rod, and so of the change in tempt.
    At the same time, 'h' is small enough that the temperature at A and A+h is the same.

    funny, density times specific heat capacity is the volumetric heat capacity isn't it? Since density and specific heat capacity are both physical properties, you should get the volumetric heat capacity from the physicists directly because some materials might have had their heat capacity measured by volume rather than or in addition to by mass and they will be able to give you the most accurate number. As it is, you also have to know how to incorporate the uncertainty of two numbers together to derive the uncertainty in your answer but combining those two uncertainties is part of the physicists specialism even if they didn't measure the volumetric heat capacity.

You'd "rattle it off" in about five minutes in the exam then go on to apply it in the rest of the question. I seem to remember learning about 50 such things for Engineering Science finals. Maths might be different. I'm actually surprised this is part of the maths course as I always assumed maths at university level was much more abstract. Nice.

    The creation of the known 1D-9D contingent universe:
    (Anu = extension of God/Tathamet = extension of Ayin)
    "Before the beginning there was void. Nothing. No flesh. No rock. No air. No heat. No light. No dark. Nothing, save a single, perfect pearl.
    Within that pearl dreamed a mighty, unfathomable spirit-the One- Anu. Made of shining diamond.
    Anu was the sum of all things: good and evil, light and dark, physical and mystical, joy and sadness-all reflected across the crystalline facets of its form. And, within its eternal dream-state, Anu considered itself-all of its myriad facets.
    Seeking a state of total purity and perfection, Anu cast all evil from itself. All dissonance was gone.
    But what of the cast-off aspect of its being? The dark parts, the sharp, searing aspects of hate and pridefulness?
    Those could not remain in a state of separation, for all things are drawn to all things. All parts are drawn to the whole.
    Those discordant parts assembled into the Beast-the Dragon.
    Tathamet was his name-and he breathed unending death and darkness from his seven devouring heads.
    The Dragon was solely composed of Anu's cast-off aspects. The end sum of the whole became a singular Evil- the Prime Evil, from which all the vileness would eventually spread throughout existence.
    Though separate beings, Anu and the Dragon were bound together within the Pearl's shadowed womb. There they warred against each other in an unending clash of light and shadow for ages uncounted.
    The diamond warrior and the seven-headed dragon proved to be the equal of the other, neither ever gaining the upper hand in their fierce and unending combat-till at last, their energies nearly spent after countless millennia of battle, the two combatants delivered their final blows.
    The energies unleashed by their impossible fury ignited an explosion of light and matter so vast and terrible that it birthed the very universe all around us.
    All of the stars above and the darkness that binds them. All that we touch. All that we feel. All that we know. All that is unknown.
    All of it continues through the night and the day in the ebbing and flowing of the ocean tides and in the destruction of fire and the creation of the seed.
    Everything of which we are aware, and that of which we are utterly unaware, was created with the deaths of Anu and the Dragon, Tathamet.
    In the epicenter of reality lies Pandemonium, the scar of the universe's violent birth.
    At its chaotic center lay the Heart of Creation, a massive jewel unlike any other: the Eye of Anu- the Worldstone.
    It is the foundation stone of all places and times, a nexus of realities and vast, untold possibility.
    Anu and Tathamet are no more, yet their distinct essences permeated the nascent universe-and eventually became the bedrock of what we know to be the High Heavens and the Burning Hells.
    Anu's shining spine spun out into the primordial darkness, where it slowed and cooled. Over countless ages it formed into the Crystal Arch, around which the High Heavens took shape and form.
    Though Anu was gone, some resonance of it remained in the holy Arch. Spirits bled forth from it-shining angels of light and sound who embodied the virtuous aspects of what the One had been.
    Yet, despite the grace and beauty of this shining realm, it lacked the perfection of Anu's spirit.
    Anu had passed into a benevolent place beyond this broken universe- a paradise of which nothing is known and yet represents perhaps the greatest-kept secret of Creation.
    Longed for, but unimaginable."
    -THE DAWN, BOOK OF CAIN.
    Galileo proved the earth is not the center of the solar system.
    Earth being the center of the universe is still on the table.

    Howdy.
    The Theory of Everything, as to not be contradictory, would mean Theory of the Fundamentals of Everything.
    Could you imagine the Theory of the Specifics of Everything? hahah.
    I contend Gottfried Leibniz was correct about the fundamentals of our contingent universe and he just lacked 2022 verbiage/common knowledge.
    More importantly is that humanity chose Isaac Newton's "real" universe, calculus, gravity, etc. This was a mistake. We need to correct this problem.
    I've done my couch 🛋 warrior self's best impression of finishing what Leibniz started (with the intention of destroying what Newton started):
    0D = (point); exact location only; non-composite substance.
    (How ironic the symbol for Physics is the symbol for Metaphysics)
    1D = line, straight; two points; composite substances
    《0D (point) is exact location only; zero size; not a 'thing', not a 'part'; Monad》
    "He is the invisible Spirit, of whom it is not right to think of him as a god, or something similar. For he is more than a god, since there is nothing above him, for no one lords it over him. For he does not exist in something inferior to him, since everything exists in him. For it is he who establishes himself. He is eternal, since he does not need anything. For he is total perfection. A being can have a relationship with a God but not the Monad as that would be a contradiction."
    - The Apocryphon of John, 180 AD.
    Monad (from Greek μονάς monas, "singularity" in turn from μόνος monos, "alone") refers, in cosmogony, to the Supreme Being, divinity or the totality of all things.
    The concept was reportedly conceived by the Pythagoreans and may refer variously to a single source acting alone, or to an indivisible origin, or to both.
    The concept was later adopted by other philosophers, such as Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, who referred to the monad as an elementary particle.
    It had a geometric counterpart, which was debated and discussed contemporaneously by the same groups of people.
    1st four dimensions are 0D, 1D, 2D, 3D ✅.
    1st four dimensions are not 1D, 2D, 3D, 4D 🚫.
    Human consciousness, mathematically, is identical to 4D quaternion algebra with w, x, y, z being "real/necessary" (0D, 1D, 2D, 3D) and i, j, k being "imaginary/contingent" (1D xi, 2D yj, 3D zk).
    1D-9D 'contingent' universe has "conscious lifeforms" (1D xi, 2D yj, 3D zk)..."turning" 'time'. We're "turners", "to turn". Humanity 3D zk.
    "Turn" to what, you might ask. 5D is the center. All things and parts are drawn to the center, the whole.
    [Contingent Universe]:
    3 sets of 3 dimensions
    (1D-3D/4D-6D/7D-9D)
    The illusory middle set (4D, 5D, 6D) is temporal. Id imagine we metaphysically create this middle set similar to a dimensional Venn Diagram with polarized lenses that we "turn" with our consciousness (which requires energy that we must consume i.e. calories to continue "to turn").
    1D-3D set/7D-9D set creating the temporal illusion of 4D-6D set.
    1D, 2D, 3D = spatial composite
    4D, 5D, 6D = temporal illusory
    7D, 8D, 9D = spectra energies
    1D, 2D, 3D line, width, height
    4D, 5D, 6D length, breadth, depth
    7D, 8D, 9D continuous, emission, absorption
    Symmetry:
    1D, 4D, 7D line, length, continuous
    2D, 5D, 8D width, breadth, emission
    3D, 6D, 9D height, depth, absorption
    Time-relative food for thought:
    According to theoretical physicist Carlo Rovelli, time is an illusion: our naive perception of its flow doesn't correspond to physical reality. Indeed, as Rovelli argues in The Order of Time, much more is illusory, including Isaac Newton's picture of a universally ticking clock.
    Does time exist without space?
    Time 'is' as space 'is' - part of a reference frame in which in ordered sequence you can touch, throw and eat apples.
    Time cannot exist without space and the existence of time does require energy.
    Time, then, has three levels, according to Leibniz:
    (i) the atemporality or eternality of God;
    (ii) the continuous immanent becoming-itself of the monad as entelechy;
    (iii) time as the external framework of a chronology of “nows”
    The difference between (ii) and (iii) is made clear by the account of the internal principle of change.
    The real difference between the necessary being of God and the contingent, created finitude of a human being is the difference between (i) and (ii).
    4D = architecture (structure)
    5D = design (solution)
    Our universal constants have convoluted answers. Leibniz's Law of Sufficient Reason fixes this.
    FUNDAMENTALS > specifics, basically.
    Our calculus is incorrect (Leibniz > Newton):
    What is the difference between Newton and Leibniz calculus?
    Newton's calculus is about functions.
    Leibniz's calculus is about relations defined by constraints.
    In Newton's calculus, there is (what would now be called) a limit built into every operation.
    In Leibniz's calculus, the limit is a separate operation.
    0D = (point)/not a 1D point:
    [Math; Geometry]
    A point is a 0-dimensional mathematical object which can be specified in -dimensional space using an n-tuple ( , , ..., ) consisting of. coordinates. In dimensions greater than or equal to two, points are sometimes considered synonymous with vectors and so points in n-dimensional space are sometimes called n-vectors.
    [Math; 4D quaternion algebra]
    A quaternion is a 4-tuple, which is a more concise representation than a rotation matrix. Its geo- metric meaning is also more obvious as the rotation axis and angle can be trivially recovered.
    What do we mean by tuple?
    In mathematics, a tuple is a finite ordered list (sequence) of elements. An n-tuple is a sequence (or ordered list) of n elements, where n is a non-negative integer. There is only one 0-tuple, referred to as the empty tuple. An n-tuple is defined inductively using the construction of an ordered pair.
    In mathematics, a versor is a quaternion of norm one (a unit quaternion). The word is derived from Latin versare = "to turn" with the suffix -or forming a noun from the verb (i.e. versor = "the turner"). It was introduced by William Rowan Hamilton in the context of his quaternion theory.
    How do you make a quaternion?
    You can create an N-by-1 quaternion array by specifying an N-by-3 array of Euler angles in radians or degrees. Use the euler syntax to create a scalar quaternion using a 1-by-3 vector of Euler angles in radians.
    [Biology]
    Points, conjugate. (Science; Microscopy) The pair of points on the principal axis of a mirror or lens so located that light emitted from either point will be focused at the other. Related points in the object and image are located optically so that one is the image of the other.

    Where is this information useful when our planet is on fire and we lose habitat for humans in the near term future?

    Why am I watching his?! I hated, hate and will always HATE math, the most boring subject I was forced to take.

    Tom. a nice go at getting into the zone of some applied mathematics. Althoug you have only done the 1-d case the d dimensional Laplacian is of intrinsic interest. Your viewer should be aware aware that Luis Cafarelli ( who is a well known PDE expert) has given an interesting averaging explanation of the Laplaian. I came across this reading this guy's paper on Fourier theory : www.gotohaggstrom.com/Basic%20Fourier%20integrals.pdf It seems a bit hard core but I guess that comes with the territory.

      3blue1brown's video on the heat equation is also excellent, especially for understanding the averaging property of the Laplacian.
