Question: ( 1 2 points ) The 1 - D temperature profile within a solid is found to be: T = C 1 x 2 +

(12 points) The 1-D temperature profile within a solid is found to be:
T=C1x2+C2lnx+C3.
a. Take the first derivative and apply Fourier's law to evaluate the heat flux in the x-direction at x=10, in terms of the unknown variables. The thermal conductivity is k.
b. If the units of x are m and temperature units are K, what are the units of C1? What are the units of C2? Units must balance!
c. Determine the x-location of the maximum (or minimum) temperature by evaluating the first derivative. The constants C10 and C2>0, and x>0.
d. Determine if the temperature is a maximum or minimum at the location in part (3) by checking the second derivative.
