Question 2-(30 Points): A three-part composite plane wall has uniform volumetric heat
generation qg in its middle layer as depicted on the diagram. The left side of the composite wall
is insulated, and the right side is exposed to convective flow at T and with convective heat
transfer coefficient between h. The thermal conductivities of the layers are k1,k2 and
k3=2k2), and their respective thicknesses L1,L2 and L3.
a.(10 points) Sketch the temperature profile in the composite wall, clearly annotating it and
explaining your reasoning for it.
b.(6 points) Derive an expression for the temperature T3 in terms of the parameters provided in
the problem statement (note that the temperatures at the different interfaces of the wall are only
provided as reference in the schematic and are not provided in the problem statement or
known).
c.(6 points) Derive an expression for the temperature T2 in terms of the parameters provided in
the problem statement (note that the temperatures at the different interfaces of the wall are only
provided as reference in the schematic and are not provided in the problem statement or
known).
d.(8 points) Find the location and an expression for the maximum temperature in the composite
wall in terms of the parameters provided in the problem statement (note that the temperatures
at the different interfaces of the wall are only provided as reference in the schematic and are
not provided in the problem statement or known).
