Question Statement:

The steady-state temperature distribution $T(x)$ in a uniform slab of thickness $L = 2\text{ m}$ with no internal heat generation satisfying $\frac{d^2 T}{dx^2} = 0$ subject to $T(0) = 100^\circ\text{C}$ and $T(2) = 20^\circ\text{C}$ at the midpoint $x = 1\text{ m}$ is:

Answer Key:

60

Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation

$T(x)$ is linear: $T(x) = 100 + \frac{20 - 100}{2} x = 100 - 40x$. At $x = 1$, $T(1) = 60^\circ\text{C}$.
