A plane wall of thickness 8 cm experiences uniform volumetric heat generation ( q ). One
surface of the wall is insulated, and the other surface is exposed to a fluid at T(infinite) = 20 degree with
convection heat transfer characterized by h=1000W/m2.K. The initial temperature distribution
on the wall is given as: T (x,0) = 300-0.1*10^4*X^2 , where x is in meters. Suddenly, the
volumetric heat generation is deactivated, while convection heat transfer continues to occur at
x=L. If the wall properties are 7000kg/ m^3 ,Cp= 450J/ kg.K, k=108W/ m.K
(a) Determine the magnitude of the volumetric energy generation rate q associated with the
initial condition (t < 0).
(b) Calculate heat flux at the boundary exposed to the convection process at t=0, qx (L,0)
(c) Calculate the amount of energy removed from the wall per unit area (J/m2) by the fluid
stream as the wall cools from its initial steady state condition.
