Question

During the glass plate production process, blocks with a temperature of 1400°C are produced. These blocks are 5cm thick and measure 1.5m wide and 1m high. If the thermal conductivity of the glass is 1.05 W/m2 and the surrounding air temperature is 550°C and the center of the block remains at 1400 degrees.

a. What is the equation of flow dT/dx?

b. Which is the function T(x)?

Consider that the internal and external temperatures remain constant and calculate the flux from the center of the block to one of its sides. (L=2.5m)
