(30) 5. The steady state temperature distribution in a sector 0 ≤ θ ≤ π, 0 ≤ r ≤ a of a semi-circular

disk is governed by the following PDE:

∂2T 1 ∂T 1 ∂2T
∇2 T = + + =0
∂2r r ∂r r2 ∂ 2 θ
a) Compute the solution when the temperature is fixed at zero along the straight edges ( i.e.
T (r, 0) = T (r, π) = 0 ) and a prescribed distribution T (θ, a) = f (θ) is maintained at the outer
edge.

b) Specialize the solution for the case T (θ, a) = T0
