A plane wall 15 – cm thick has a thermal conductivity given by the relation k = 2.0 + 0.0005 T, W/m – K where T is in Kelvin. If one surface of this wall is maintained at 150 oC and the other at 50 oC, determine the rate of heat transfer per square meter. Sketch the temperature distribution through the wall.
