Substituting the given values, the temperature distribution in the wall at t = 10 s can be determined as:
A plane wall of thickness 2L = 4 cm and thermal conductivity k = 10 W/mK is subjected to a uniform heat generation rate of q = 1000 W/m3. The wall is initially at a uniform temperature of T_i = 20°C. Suddenly, the left face of the wall is exposed to a fluid at T∞ = 100°C, with a convection heat transfer coefficient of h = 100 W/m2K. Determine the temperature distribution in the wall at t = 10 s. incropera principles of heat and mass transfer solution pdf
The following is a sample problem and solution from the "Incropera Principles of Heat and Mass Transfer solution pdf": Determine the temperature distribution in the wall at
This solution can be used to determine the temperature distribution in the wall at any time and position. Substituting the given values
T(x,t) = 100 - 80 * erf(x / 0.2) + 4 * (1 - (x/0.02)^2)
