Effect of co-ordinate system on thermal gradient calculations.xls

KNOWN: Plane wall with prescribed thermal conductivity, thickness and surface temperature.

FIND: Heat flux q"x, and temperature gradient, for the three different coordinate systems.

ASSUMPTIONS: 1) steady-state conditions.

2) One-dimensional heat flow.

3) No internal heat generation.

4) Constant properties.
