Solution

The correct option is D 1, 3 and 4 are correct
The heat conduction equation (˙Q=KAdTdx) is valid only when steady state conduction is achieved i.e No change in temperature with respect to time.

From the formula we can deduce that heat flow is assumed to be one dimensional and uniform temperatures are maintained across the bounding surfaces. Termperature gradient is constant and the temperature profile is linear.
Although, thermal conductivity can be constant or variable.
Thus, option (d) is the correct answer.
