1. Consider the transport of thermal energy (i.e.: heat through an isotropic solid material with constant properties. One end of the material is held constant at TH and the other end of the material is held constant at a cooler temperature, Tc. The sides of the material are perfectly insulated such that the heat transfer is one-dimensional in the x-direction. Two thermocouples measure the temperature of the material at a distance L apart. A schematic of the situation is shown below
T1
TH
D
A. Use Fourier's Law to determine the heat flux through the material if
B.Determine the heat transfer rate through the material if D=7 cm
C. What is the temperature of the cold reservoir if T2 is 8 cm from the end of the material?
