Question:

Suppose that the rod in Fig. 17.23a is made of copper, is 45.0 cm long and has a cross-sectional area of 1.25 cm2. Let TH = 100.0oC and Tc = 0.0oC.
(a) What is the final steady-state temperature gradient along the rod?
(b) What is the heat current in the rod in the final steady state?
(c) What is the final steady-slate temperature at a point in the rod 12.0 cm from its left end?
