Question:
A composite one-dimensional plane wall is of overall thickness 2L. Material A spans the domain –L < x < 0 and experiences an exothermic chemical reaction leading to a uniform volumetric generation rate of qA. Material B spans the domain 0 ≤ x ≤ L and undergoes an endothermic chemical reaction corresponding to a uniform volumetric generation rate of qB =– qA. The surfaces at x =±L are insulated. Sketch the steady-state temperature and heat flux distributions T(x) and q"x(x), respectively, over the domain–L ≤ x ≤ L for kA , kA = 0.5 kB, and kA = 2kB. Point out the important features of the distributions you have drawn. If qB = –2qA , can you sketch the steady-state temperature distribution?
