I have a question and I'm not really sure how to get the initial condition from the question. I've managed to determine $U(x,t)$ from $u(x,t) = U(x,t) + psi(x)$ by modifying the boundary condition to = 0 but I still can't seem to determine the initial condition, which is why I am stuck after $U(x,t)$.
I don't need the exact question but a hint towards finding that initial condition.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I understand that the BC are $u(0,t) = 120$ and $u(20,t) = 30$ and the rest is just normal working but the initial condition is bugging me.
Thank you!

There is a misunderstanding of the problem. Let us draw the initial configuration:
Mathematically, this could be written as an initial- and boundary-value problem for the heat equation $partial_t u = Dpartial_xx u$. The initial conditions are
$$
u(x,0) = leftlbrace
beginaligned
&120 & & textif; 0leq xleq 15, ,\
&30 & & textif; 15leq xleq 20, ,
endalignedright .
$$
The boundary conditions are $u(0,t)=u(20,t)=30$ for $t>0$.
