Consider the system with 3 plates A, B and C represented in the figure. Plate B represents a nuclear fuel element. The rate of heat generation in nuclear fuel is 4 MW/m^2. Heat is removed from the system on both outer surfaces, one on plate A and the other on plate C, by a flow of water at a temperature of 25\deg C, with a convective heat transfer coefficient of 1000 W((m^2\deg C). The thermal conductivity of the material of the two plates is 50 W/m\deg C. The heat transmission area on each plate is 10 m^2. Determine: a) the heat transfer rate passing through plate A b) the thermal resistance of the wall C. c) the temperature of the internal face of the wall C d) the temperature of the external face of wall A.P
