Thermodynamics
In a solid sphere of 0.2 m diameter, heat is generated at the rate of 1.2 x 106 W/m3. The center temperature is 300°C. Conductivity is 50 W/m-K. What is the surface temperature?

Consider a large plane wall of thickness L=0.3 m, thermal conductivity k = 2.5 W/m.K,
and surface area A = 12 m². The left side of the wall at x=0 is subjected to a net heat
flux of ɖo = 700 W/m² while the temperature at that surface is measured to be T₁ =
80°C. Assuming constant thermal conductivity and no heat generation in the wall, (a)
express the differential equation and the boundary equations for steady one-
dimensional heat conduction through the wall, (b) obtain a relation for the variation of
the temperature in the wall by solving the differential equation, and (c) evaluate the
temperature of the right surface of the wall at x=L.
