Question
An engineer seeks to study the effect of temperature on the curing
of concrete by controlling the curing temperature in the following
way. A sample slab of thickness L is subjected to a heat flux, qw,
on one side, and it is cooled to temperature T1 on the other. Derive
a dimensionless expression for the steady temperature in the slab.
Plot the expression and offer a criterion for neglecting the internal
heat generation in the slab.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given : 

An engineers want to learn and study the effect of temperature on the curing of concrete by controlling the curing temperature. 

for that consider a slab of thickness L, Heat Flux qw ,        

 

To find: 

Derived the dimensionless expression for the steady temperature in the slab.   

 

 

Note:

Heat transfer by convection is given by,  Q = h A ∆T 

Heat Flux is is nothing but the rate of heat energy transfer through a given surface area ( qw).
