please can you answer this question

Consider a large plane wall of thickness 2L=20mm. Both surfaces of the wall are convectively cooled by the surrounding coolant at Too 250C with a heat transfer coefficient of h= 1100 W/m2.K. A fuel element of a nuclear reactor is considered in the shape of this large plane wall with given constant thermal properties as thermal conductivity k = 30 W/m.K and a = 5 x 10-6m/s. It is known that heat is generated uniformly within the element at a volumetric rate of qi = 1 x 107W/m3. A departure from the steady-state conditions associated with normal operation will occur if there is a change in the generation rate. Consider a sudden change to 92 = 2 x 107W/m3. Assuming steady one-dimensional heat transfer along the wall, use the explicit finite- difference method to show how to calculate temperature To at 1.2 sec and temperature Ts at 1.5 sec. (show which equation to use and the calculations in details)
