Question

Consider a slab of 20 mm20\text{ mm} thickness. There is a uniform heat generation of q˙=100 MW/m3\dot{q} = 100\text{ MW/m}^3 inside the slab. The left and right faces of the slab are maintained at 150 ∘C150\text{ }^\circ\text{C} and 110 ∘C110\text{ }^\circ\text{C}, respectively. The plate has a constant thermal conductivity of 200 W/(m.K)200\text{ W/(m.K)}. Considering a 1-D steady state heat conduction, the location of the maximum temperature from the left face will be at _____mm\text{mm} (answer in integer).
A slab of thickness 20 mm with heat generation q_dot, left face at 150 °C and right face at 110 °C.
