Question: Problem 1 ( 3 points ) : A plane wall of thickness L = 0 . 5 m has a thermal conductivity of k w

Problem 1(3 points): A plane wall of thickness L=0.5m has a thermal conductivity of kw=8Wm-K. The outer surface of the wall, at location x=L, is at a temperature To=45C, and the inner surface temperature Ti is unknown. It is known that the outer surface of the wall exchanges heat with surrounding air by convection heat transfer. The convection heat transfer coefficient is h=15Wm2-K. Temperature of air surrounding the outer surface of the wall is T=368K. Assuming steadystate 1-D heat transfer with no energy generation,
Will conductive flux through the wall remain constant? No need to prove anything explicitly. Just state a simple reason as to why/why not?
Determine the temperature at the inner surface of the wall, at location x=0m.
Sketch the temperature profile through the wall. State the direction of heat transfer through the wall.
