ANSWERS TO QUIZ 2
No since heat transfer becomes transient only when
temperature varies with time, not with location.
Moreover, we can’t say that the heat transfer is steady
since no enough information is given.

Internal heat generation is heat generated within the body due to
conversion of chemical, nuclear, or electrical energy to heat. It is
different from heat transfer from outside source since in this case the
heat is not from external source but is generated within the volume
and flows outwards.

It means that the slope dt/dx is negative, or in other words
temperature decreases towards the positive x direction. (k and A
cannot be negative values.)
