Question: Problem 4 . Fins. ( 2 5 pts ) Heat is uniformly generated at the rate of ( 2 times 1 0 ^

Problem 4. Fins. (25 pts) Heat is uniformly generated at the rate of \(2\times 10^{5}\mathrm{~W}/\mathrm{m}^{3}\) in a wall of thermal conductivity \(25\mathrm{~W}/\mathrm{m}\cdot \mathrm{K}\) and thickness 60 mm . The wall is exposed to convection on both sides, with different heat transfer coefficients and temperatures as shown. There are straight rectangular fins on the right-hand side of the wall, with dimensions as shown and thermal conductivity of \(250\mathrm{~W}/\mathrm{m}\cdot \mathrm{K}\).
a) List all the assumptions (\(\mathbf{5}\mathrm{pts}\))
b) Find the expressions of the temperatures at the two ends of the wall (8 pts )
c) Find the expression of the maximum temperature that will occur in the wall in terms of temperatures at the two ends of the wall as well? (8 pts )
d) Intuitively, rank the 3 temperatures in terms of order of increasing. (4 pts)
