In introductory physics, students learn two equations that involve heat: , describes the amount of heat transferred in calorimetry; and describes the rate of steady state heat flow through a window. In this Exercise Set we combine these two equations to explore the dynamics of heat flow and temperature change in one dimension. Specifically, we will explore the temperature of a frying pan handle as a function of both position and time, and we will see how this temperature profile depends on the material properties of the handle.
