Solve PDE w/ Comsol 5.3: Numerical Solution & Time Evolution

[umby]

TL;DR Summary

Numerical solution of a partial differential equation containing the derivative of the unknown at a point

What is the best way to solve numerically the following equation using Comsol 5.3.

##\frac{\partial T}{\partial t}=\frac{\partial ^2T}{\partial x^2}+\text{St}\left[1+\left(\frac{\partial T}{\partial x}\right)_{x=0}\right]\frac{\partial T}{\partial x}##
##T(0,t)=1##
##T(\infty ,t)=0##
##T(x,0)=\exp \left(-\frac{x^2}{\pi }\right)-x \text{erfc}\left(\frac{x}{\sqrt{\pi }}\right)##

where ##\text{St}## is a parameter which can varies from 0.01 to 100.
I am particularly interested in following the evolution of ##\text{St}\left[1+\left(\frac{\partial T}{\partial x}\right)_{x=0}\right]## with time.
Thanks in advance.

Be care. This is not a PDE at all. Even the correctness of such a problem needs for a separate study.

You mean because of the coefficient of the derivative of ##T## with respect to ##x##? Maybe differential relation is better? Can you help me please in determining the correctness of this problem?

I mean the term
$$\frac{\partial T}{\partial x}\Big|_{x=0}$$

Exsactly what I was mentioning, thank you for point it out. Coefficients cannot be function of the unknown, only of the indipendent variables, in my case ##x## and ##t##.
Can you please tell me more about the matter of its correctness?

You can probably write a finite difference code easier than using comsol. Then you can insert the nonlinear part of the PDE with ease.
