4. Thermal Conductivity and Thermal Diffusivity: Look up and tabulate the following quantities: Material k (W/m·K)...
A plane wall of thickness 2L= 30 mm and thermal conductivity k= 3 W/m·K experiences uniform volumetric heat generation at a rate q˙, while convection heat transfer occurs at both of its surfaces (x=-L, +L), each of which is exposed to a fluid of temperature ∞T∞= 20°C. Under steady-state conditions, the temperature distribution in the wall is of the form T(x)=a+bx+cx2 where a= 82.0°C, b= -210°C/m, c= -2 × 104°C/m2, and x is in meters. The origin of the x-coordinate...
