Fundamentals of Heat and Mass Transfer – Problem 2.5
Assume steady-state, one-dimensional heat conduction through the symmetric shape shown. Assuming that there is no internal heat generation, derive an expression for the thermal conductivity k(x) for these conditions: A(x) = (1 – x), T(x) = 300(1 – 2x – x3), and q = 6000 W, where A is in square meters, T in kelvins, and x in meters.
