Consider one-dimensional steady state heat conducting along x-axis (0 ≤ x ≤ L), through a plane wall with the boundary surfaces (x = 0 and x = L) maintained at temperature of 0°C and 100°C. Heat is generated uniformly through out the wall. Choose the CORRECT statement

1. The direction of heat transfer will be from the surface at 100°C to the surface of 0°C.
2. The maximum temperature inside the wall must be greater than 100°C
3. The temperature distribution is linear within the wall
4. The temperature distribution is symmetric about the mid-plane of the wall

Correct Option: B
