Consider a slab of thickness L. and constant thermal conductivity k in which energy is
generated at a constant rate of go W/m³. the boundary surface at x = 0 is insulated (adiabatic) and
that at x = L dissipates heat by convection with a heat transfer coefficient h into a fluid at a
temperature To. Develop expressions for the temperature T(x) and the heat flux q(x) in the slab.
Calculate the temperatures at the surface x = 0 and x = L under the following conditions:
L = 1cm; k = 20 W/m °C, go = 8 x 107 W/m³, h = 400 W/m² °C, and T = 100 °C
