Question

Consider one-dimensional steady state heat conduction, without heat generation, in a plane wall; with boundary conditions as shown in the figure below. The conductivity of the wall is given by k=k0+bT; where k0 and b are positive constants, and T is temperature.




As x increases, the temperature gradient (dT/dx) will

Solution

The correct option is D Decrease

Q=kAdTdx .....(1)

where k=k0+bT;
As x increases, T increases, then k also increases.

i.e.,kis +ve
Equation (1), indicates dTdx decreases.
