The temperature profile of a system is given by

The heat flux is given by Fourier's law, , where k is a constant.

Find the heat flux for the given profile.

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

To find the heat flux, we must find the change in temperature with respect to x:

The derivative was found using the following rule:

Plugging this into Fourier's law, we get
