The Energy Equation Final
This is derived from the first law of thermodynamics which states that the rate of energy increase
in a system is equal to the heat added to the system and work done on the system. From Currie
(1974) assuming no heat source, the energy equation is written as:
( )
2 2
∂T ∂T ∂T ∂ T
u +v =α 2
+ 2 Kindly make the second partial derivative in the LHS be wrt y.
∂x ∂y ∂x ∂ y
