surface area A = 20 m². The left side of the wall is maintained at a constant temperature of T1 =
90°C while the right side loses heat by convection to the surrounding air at To
= 25°C with a heat transfer coefficient of h = 40 W/m? · °C. Assuming constant thermal
conductivity and no heat generation in the wall:

conduction through the wall.
(b) Obtain a relation for the variation of temperature in the wall by solving the differential equation.
