Consider uniform thermal energy generation inside a one-dimensional plane wall of thickness 

Consider uniform thermal energy generation inside a one-dimensional plane wall of thickness L with one surface held at T31 and the other surface insulated. (a) Find an expression for the conduction heat flux to the cold surface and the temperature of the hot surface T, 2, expressing your results in terms of k, , L, and T31. (b) Compare the heat flux found in part (a) with the heat flux associated with a plane wall without energy generation whose surface temperatures are T,1 and T, 2.
