Rosenthal traveling-heat-source equation

Daniel Rosenthal — Jewish, fleeing Germany in 1939 through the Netherlands and Morocco, arriving at MIT mechanical engineering by 1940 — solved the traveling distributed point heat source problem during the journey and published three ASME Journal papers. Later UCLA materials science professor.

But we'd really like to know, as this point heat source travels along the plate, what does the heat look like? That's where Daniel Rosenthal came along. Daniel Rosenthal was Jewish. I don't remember if he's originally from Switzerland — he did go through the Netherlands in his flight from Germany in 1939. He ended up in Morocco for a year, and by 1940 he was here at MIT in mechanical engineering.
