Question:

The heat flux that is applied to one face of a plane wall is \(q^{\prime \prime}=20 \mathrm{~W} / \mathrm{m}^{2}\). The opposite face is exposed to air at temperature \(30^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), with a convection heat transfer coefficient of \(20 \mathrm{~W} / \mathrm{m}^{2} \cdot \mathrm{K}\). The surface temperature of the wall exposed to air is measured and found to be \(50^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). Do steady-state conditions exist? If not, is the temperature of the wall increasing or decreasing with time?
