Direction: Consider steady one-dimensional heat flow in a plate of 20 mm thickness with a uniform heat generation of 80 MW/m³. The left and right faces are kept at constant temperatures of 160°C and 120°C respectively. The plate has a constant thermal conductivity of 200 W/mK.
-
The maximum temperature within the plate in °C is
-
- 160
- 165
- 200
- 250
Correct Option: B
Tmax = 165º [putting x = 5 × 10–3 is equation (1)]
