Question: The steady-state temperature distribution in a one-dimensional wall of thermal conductivity 50 W/m K and thickness 50 mm is observed to be T(oC) =

The steady-state temperature distribution in a one-dimensional wall of thermal conductivity 50 W/m ∙ K and thickness 50 mm is observed to be T(oC) = a + bx2, where a = 200°C, b = - 2000°C/m2 , and x is in meters.

(a) What is the heat generation rate q in the wall?

(b) Determine the heat fluxes at the two wall faces. In what manner are these heat fluxes related to the heat generation rate?
