Suppose we have a laterally insulated metal rod of length 1, parametrized by length, starting with 0 at the left hand endpoint. Suppose the insulation is not perfect and there is lateral heat loss. Suppose left hand endpoint is kept at temperature -2 and right hand endpoint is perfectly insulated.

Which equation most likely governs this setup:








Which boundary conditions are the correct ones:





In order to get credit for this problem all answers must be correct.
