Question

A semi-infinite slab is at an initial temperature $T_i$. Beginning at time $t=0$, the slab is heated by the application of a constant heat flux, $q_w$, at the surface at $x=0$. Analyze the problem to determine the equations governing the temperature distribution inside the slab. A final solution to the equations is not required, but extra credit is available if you can find the solution.

Step 1

Step 1: The heat equation for the temperature distribution inside the slab can be written as: ρc(∂T/∂t) = k(∂^2T/∂x^2) + q_w where: ρ = density of the material c = specific heat capacity k = thermal conductivity T = temperature t = time x = distance from the Show more…
