Steady, One-Dimensional Heat Conduction in a
Plane Wall
The general three-dimensional heat-conduction equation in Cartesian Coord.
For steady-state conditions with no distributed source or sink of energy within the
wall, the appropriate form of the heat equation is
If the thermal conductivity of the wall material is
assumed to be constant, the equation may be
integrated twice to obtain the general solution

Example
A plane wall is a composite of two materials, A and B. The
wall of material A has uniform heat generation q˙=1.5x106,
kA = 75 W/m.K, and thickness LA = 50 mm. The wall
material B has no generation with kB =150 W/m K and
thickness LB = 20 mm. The inner surface of material A is
well insulated, while the outer surface of material B is
cooled by a water stream with T ͚ = 30C and h= 1000 W/m2
.K.
1. Sketch the temperature distribution that exists in the
composite under steady-state conditions.
2. Determine the temperature T0 of the insulated surface
and the temperature T2 of the cooled surface.
