Question: 3 . 7 1 Consider a plane composite wall that is composed of three materials ( materials A , B , and C are arranged

3.71 Consider a plane composite wall that is composed of three materials (materials A, B, and C are arranged left to right) of thermal conductivities kA=0.24Wm*K,kB=0.13Wm*K, and kC=0.50Wm*K. The thicknesses of the three sections of the wall are LA=20mm,LB=13mm, and LC=20mm. A contact resistance of Rt,c''=10-2m2*KW exists at the interface between materials A and B, as well as at the interface between materials B and C. The left face of the composite wall is insulated, while the right face is exposed to convective conditions characterized by h=10Wm2*K,T-=20C. For Case 1, thermal energy is generated within material A at the rate qA=5000Wm3. For Case 2, thermal energy is generated within material C at the rate qC=5000Wm3.
(a) Determine the maximum temperature within the composite wall under steady-state conditions for Case 1.
(b) Sketch the steady-state temperature distribution on T-x coordinates for Case 1.
(c) Sketch the steady-state temperature distribution for Case 2 on the same T-x coordinates used for Case 1.
(d)(Extra question added by me) Determine the maximum temperature within the composite wall under steady state conditions for Case 2.
