A nuclear reactor can be modelled as the plane wall shown in figure below. The thermal conductivity of the wall is 12 W/m.K. Heat is generated in the plane wall with the rate of 106644 W/m3. Left side of the wall is insulated, and the right side is cooled by air at 90°C. The convection heat transfer coefficient is 0.5 kW/m2.K. What is the maximum temperature in the wall (oC)?
