Question: Exercise # 3 ( 1 0 points ) : A 2 0 - m m thick solid wall has a thermal conductivity of 2 0

Exercise #3(10 points):
A 20-mm thick solid wall has a thermal conductivity of 20Wm-K. At a steady-state condition,
it is observed that the temperature distribution within the wall, assuming a one-dimensional (1D)
approximation, follows the following relationship: T(C)=a+bx2 with a=120C and b=
-800Cm2, with x in unit meter.
(a) Compute the heat generation rate [W] within the wall, if any.
(b) Compute the heat fluxes at the two wall faces that are perpendicular to the x-axis. How
do these heat fluxes relate to the heat generation rate?
Assume the surface area of the wall (in the direction perpendicular to the x-axis) is 4m2.
