The steady-state temperature distribution in a one-dimensional wall of thermal conductivity 10 W/(mK) and thickness 20 mm is observed to be T = a + br² where a = 50 C, b=-750 C/m², and r is in meters. (a) What is the heat generation rate per unit volume dgen in the wall? (answer 1.5e4 W/m³) (b) What is the heat flux at the two wall faces (answers 0 & 300 W/m²) (c) Verify that energy is conserved by using energy conservation for a control volume surrounding the slab
