A plane wall (see schematic) is composed of a material having a temperature dependent thermal conductivity given by kw = BT where B=5 W/m^2 K^2. The thickness of the wall is L=0.5 m and it has a cross-sectional area of Ac =1 m^2. The temperature on the wall's far left extreme is Th=300 K and on its far right Tc=20 K.Assuming one-dimensional heat transfer through the wall, derive an expression for the spatial dependence of temperature along the x-direction. Your final answer should take the form of T(x)= f(B,T,Ac ,Th ,Tc ,L,x)
