Question: The temperature distribution across a wall 0 . 3 m thick at a certain instant of time is T ( x ) = a +

The temperature distribution across a wall 0.3 m thick at a certain instant of time is T(x)=a+bx+cx2, where T is in degrees
Celsius and x is in meters, a=200C,b=-200Cm, and c=30Cm2. The wall has a thermal conductivity of 1Wm*K.
(a) On a unit surface area basis, determine the rate of heat transfer into and out of the wall and the rate of change of energy stored by
the wall assuming that volumetric heat generation does not occur.
(b) If the cold surface is exposed to a fluid at 100C, what is the convection coefficient?
The rate of heat transfer into wall, in Wm2 :
qin''=
Wm2
The rate of heat transfer out of wall, in Wm2 :
qout''=
Wm2
The rate of change of energy stored by the wall, in Wm2 :
