Consider a medium in which the heat conduction equation is given in its simplest forms as

(a) Is heat transfer steady or transient?
(b) Is heat transfer one-, two-, or three-dimensional?
(c) Is there heat generation in the medium?
(d) Is the thermal conductivity of the medium constant or variable?
(e) Is the medium a plane wall, a cylinder, or a sphere?
(f) Is this differential equation for heat conduction linear or nonlinear?
