What is Poisson’s equation – Steady-state Heat Transfer – Definition

by
Poisson’s equation – Steady-state Heat Transfer. Under steady-state conditions, there can be no change in the amount of energy storage (∂T/∂t = 0). Thermal Engineering

Constant Thermal Conductivity and Steady-state Heat Transfer – Poisson’s equation

Poisson’s equation – Steady-state Heat Transfer

Additional simplifications of the general form of the heat equation are often possible. For example, under steady-state conditions, there can be no change in the amount of energy storage (∂T/∂t = 0).

One-dimensional Heat Equation

One of most powerful assumptions is that the special case of one-dimensional heat transfer in the x-direction. In this case the derivatives with respect to y and z drop out and the equations above reduce to (Cartesian coordinates):
