One-dimensional, steady-state conduction with uniform internal energy generation occurs in a plane wall which is subject to convection on the left side at x = 0 and being well-insulated on the other. a) Specify the mathematical model defining T(x): provide a governing differential equation and appropriate boundary conditions. Express your answer in terms of defined variables rather than numerical values with units. b) Solve for the temperature profile T(x) referencing the x-origin as shown on the left surface (again expressing your answer in terms of defined variables rather than numerical values.) c) Find the maximum temperature in the wall and the wall surface temperature if the volumetric generation is qdot = 1 MW/m^3 with the remaining parameters as specified in the figure.
