 Temperature Distribution with Heat Generation
Plane Wall:

For 1-D, steady-state conditions with heat generation,

General solution:

Asymmetrical B.C

With generation the heat flux is no longer independent of x.

So, Thermal Resistance Concept is not applicable. 2
Temperature Distribution with Heat Generation (2)
Plane Wall:

Symmetrical B.C

Non-dimensional Form

 Temperature Distribution with Heat Generation (3)
Solid Cylinder:

For 1-D, steady-state conditions

with heat generation,
General solution:

Ratio of generalized temperature distribution with

distribution at centerline gives non- dimensional form.
