If the thermal conductivity of a wall material is independent of temperature, the steady state temperature distribution in the very large thin plane wall having steady, uniform surface temperature follows __________ law.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When the thermal conductivity of a material is independent of temperature, the steady-state temperature distribution in a large thin plane wall with steady, uniform surface temperatures follows a linear law. This is because the heat conduction equation simplifies to a linear differential equation when thermal conductivity is constant.
