A plane wall with constant properties is initially at a uniform temperature To. Suddenly, the surface at x = L is exposed to a c
onvection process with a fluid at T[infinity](>To) having a convection coefficient h. Also, suddenly the wall experiences a uniform internal volumetric heating ˙ q q˙ that is sufficiently large to induce a maximum steady-state temperature within the wall, which exceeds that of the fluid. The boundary at x = 0 remains at To.
1 answer:
Answer:
The distribution is as depicted in the attached figure.
Explanation:
From the given data
- The plane wall is initially with constant properties is initially at a uniform temperature, To.
- Suddenly the surface x=L is exposed to convection process such that T∞>To.
- The other surface x=0 is maintained at To
- Uniform volumetric heating q' such that the steady state temperature exceeds T∞.
Assumptions which are valid are
- There is only conduction in 1-D.
- The system bears constant properties.
- The volumetric heat generation is uniform
From the given data, the condition are as follows
<u>Initial Condition</u>
At t≤0
This indicates that initially the temperature distribution was independent of x and is indicated as a straight line.
<u>Boundary Conditions</u>
<u>At x=0</u>
<u /><u />
This indicates that the temperature on the x=0 plane will be equal to To which will rise further due to the volumetric heat generation.
<u>At x=L</u>
<u /><u />
This indicates that at the time t, the rate of conduction and the rate of convection will be equal at x=L.
The temperature distribution along with the schematics are given in the attached figure.
Further the heat flux is inferred from the temperature distribution using the Fourier law and is also as in the attached figure.
It is important to note that as T(x,∞)>T∞ and T∞>To thus the heat on both the boundaries will flow away from the wall.

First, let's find the speed 
of the two blocks m1 and m2 sticked together after the collision.
We can use the conservation of momentum to solve this part. Initially, block 2 is stationary, so only block 1 has momentum different from zero, and it is:
After the collision, the two blocks stick together and so now they have mass
and they are moving with speed :
For conservation of momentum
So we can write
From which we find
The two blocks enter the rough path with this velocity, then they are decelerated because of the frictional force
. The work done by the frictional force to stop the two blocks is
where d is the distance covered by the two blocks before stopping.
The initial kinetic energy of the two blocks together, just before entering the rough path, is
When the two blocks stop, all this kinetic energy is lost, because their velocity becomes zero; for the work-energy theorem, the loss in kinetic energy must be equal to the work done by the frictional force:
From which we can find the value of the coefficient of kinetic friction:
