```python
# Boundary conditions
u0 = Constant(100)
def boundary(x, on_boundary):
    return on_boundary

bc = DirichletBC(V,u0, boundary)
```


```python
u_n = project(1, V)
u = TrialFunction(V)
v = TestFunction(V)
f = Constant(0.0)
F = u*v*dx + alpha*dt*dot(grad(u), grad(v))*dx-u_n*v*dx
a, L = lhs(F), rhs(F)
```

    Calling FFC just-in-time (JIT) compiler, this may take some time.



```python
u = Function(V)
t = 0
for n in range(num_steps):
    t += dt
    #u0.t = t
    solve(a == L, u, bc)
    c = plot(u,)
    plt.colorbar(c)
    plt.show()
    u_n.assign(u)
```
