| Heat Diffusion Equation-5 |
- Energy balance equation becomes:

- The above is the integral form of the conduction/Heat Diffusion equation.
- Often it is useful to have the differential form of the equation
|
| Heat Diffusion Equation-6 |
- The Gauss Divergence theorem and the mean value theorem provide the vehicle for the conversion from the integral to the differential form.
- The theorem is written on the next slide for a vector and a scalar quantity.
