A wall of a house is made from two layers of bricks enclosing a layer of insulation. A radiator is positioned to cover the whole internal surface, and used intermittently when the internal temperature is low. The external surface is exposed to the outside air. Which of the following assumptions could be used to identify the relevant reduced form of the conduction equation to find the temperature in the wall. a. Conduction is mainly in two directions. b. Conduction is mainly in one direction. c. The wall properties are homogeneous. d. Steady conditions exist. e. Unsteady conditions exist. f. There is an internal volumetric heat generation in the wall.
