If the thermal conductivity of the glass is 1.05 W/m2 and the surrounding air temperature is 550°C and the center of the block remains at 1400 degrees. a. What is the equation of flow dT/dx? b. Which is the function T(x)? Consider that the internal and external temperatures remain constant and calculate the flux from the center of the block to one of its sides. (L=2.5m)

a. What is the equation of flow dT/dx?
b. Which is the function T(x)?
Consider that the internal and external temperatures remain constant and calculate the flux from the center of the block to one of its sides. (L=2.5m)
Given data:
Temperature at the center of the glass block = T1 = 1400°C
Temperature at the sides = T2 = 550°C
Thermal conductivity = k = 1.05 W/m2
Cross-section of the block = 1.5 m x 1 m
Thickness of the block = l =5 cm = 0.05 m
We have to find :
a. What is the equation of flow dT/dx?
b. Which is the function T(x)?
