Question

The thermal conductivity of a slab varies as k = k_o (1 + ?T^2). (a) Determine the heat flow through a slab of thickness L m and surface temperatures T_1 and T_2. (b) Show that the temperature distribution on the slab can be expressed as [T_1 - T] / [T_1 - T_2] = [1 + ?/3 (T_1^2 + T_1T_2 + T_2^2)] / [1 + ?/3 (T_1^2 + T_1T + T^2)] % (x - x_1) / (x_2 - x_1)

(b) Show that the temperature distribution on the slab can be expressed as
[T_1 - T] / [T_1 - T_2] = [1 + ?/3 (T_1^2 + T_1T_2 + T_2^2)] / [1 + ?/3 (T_1^2 + T_1T + T^2)] % (x - x_1) / (x_2 - x_1)

The thermal conductivity of a slab varies as k = ko (1 + ?T^2).
(a) Determine the heat flow through a slab of thickness L m and surface temperatures T1 and T2.
(b) Show that the temperature distribution on the slab can be expressed as
[T1 - T] / [T1 - T2] = [1 + ?/3 (T1^2 + T1T2 + T2^2)] / [1 + ?/3 (T1^2 + T1T + T^2)] % (x - x1) / (x2 - x1)
