4) Consider the plane wall shown below with cross sectional area \( Z \). The left side of the wall is perfectly insulated and the right side is exposed to the environment. The wall is composed of 3 sections, A, B, and C, each length L. Section A experiences uniform internal heat generation \(\dot{q}\). Sections A and B have contact resistance between them equal to \(\mathrm{R}_{A B}\) and sections B and C have contact resistance between them equal to \(\mathrm{R}_{B C}\). Assuming 1D conduction, steady state, and uniform thermal conductivity throughout the wall, answer the following:
a) Using the plots below, plot the temperature distribution and heat rate for the wall. Be sure to mark where zero is on the heat rate plot. (14 pts)
b) What is \(\Delta T_{B C}\) equal to (the temperature drop between sections B and C)?(10 pts)
4 ) Consider the plane wall shown below with
