Fundamentals of Heat and Mass Transfer – Problem 2.8

ByEngineeringCheatSheet.com

To determine the effect of the temperature dependence of the thermal conductivity on the temperature distribution in a solid, consider a material for which this dependence may be represented as k = ko + aT where ko is a positive constant and a is a coefficient that may be positive or negative. Sketch the steady-state temperature distribution associated with heat transfer in a plane wall for three cases corresponding to a>0 , a=0 and a<0.
