Problem Solution
Consider a plane wall 100 mm thick and of thermal conductivity 100 W/(m-K). Steady state
conditions are known to exist with T1 = 400 K and T2 = 600 K. Determine the heat flux
(magnitude and direction) and the temperature gradient dT/dx for the coordinate system
shown in Fig. (2000 0C/m; - 200,00 W/m2;- 2000 0C/m,200,000 W/m2; 2000 0C/m, - 200,000
