The two ends of a uniform rod of length L are insulated. There is a constant source of thermal energy Q0 ≠ 0, and the temperature is initially u(x, 0) = f(x).

(a) Show mathematically that there does not exist any equilibrium temperature distribution. Briefly explain physically.

(b) Calculate the total thermal energy in the entire rod.
