Show that in the limit ?x ? 0 and ?t ? 0, the difference is equivalent to the differential

GIVEN
The difference equation for one-dimensional transient conduction
SHOW
(a) As ?x and ?t ?0, the difference equation is equivalent to the differential equation,


Equation is,



By definition



So, the difference equation is equivalent to



In the limit as ?t ??0, from calculus, the left hand side of the above equation becomes



and in the limit as ?x ? 0, from calculus, the first term on the right hand side of the equation becomes



So the equation is equivalent to



which is the same
