A composite one-dimensional plane wall is of overall thickness 2L. Material A spans the domain − L ≤ x < 0 and experiences an exothermic chemical reaction leading to a uniform volumetric generation rate of q A . Material B spans the domain 0 ≤ x ≤ L and undergoes an endothermic chemical reaction corresponding to a uniform volumetric generation rate of q . B = − q . A . The surfaces at x = ± L are insulated. Sketch the steady-state temperature and heat flux distributions T ( x ) and respectively, over the domain − L ≤ x ≤ L for k A = k B , k A = 0.5 k B , and k A = 2 k B . Point out the important features of the distributions you have drawn. If q . B = − 2 q . A , can you sketch the steady-state temperature distribution?
