Consider uniform thermal energy generation inside a one-dimensional plane wall of thickness L with one surface held at Ts1 and the other surface insulated.
(a) Find an expression for the conduction heat flux to the cold surface and the temperature of the hot surface Ts2, expressing your results in terms of k, q', L, and Ts1.
(b) Compare the heat flux found in part (a) with the heat flux associated with a plane wall without energy generation whose surface temperatures are Ts1 and Ts2.
