Q = KA(T2-T1)/dx.
Q = 10,
K = .04,
T1 = -5,
dx = .16,
A = 1.
10 = .04*(T2+5)/.16.
T2 + 5 = 40,
T2 = 40-5,
T2 = 35.

dT = T2 -(-5) =T2 + 5.
So, the answer is 35.

Here Q=-kdt/dx.

Balaram said:   6 years ago
q = kdt/dx.

q = 10W/m^2.

K = 0.04.

10 = 0.04(t-5)/0.16.

t = 45deg c.

@Khalid.

How you got the q value as 10?

Amit shah said:   8 years ago
Use Fourier low for heat transfer by the condition.

Q= kdt/dx.

Khalid.abed said:   8 years ago
q = - k dt/dx.
q = 10W/m2, 10 W/m2.

10 = 0.04(-5 - t)/0.16.
=> t = 35°C.

Heat flux is 10 W/m^2. So answer is 35° C.

Mahindra said:   10 years ago
The answer is 45 degree C.

The temperature given is minus five (-5) not hence temperature difference = t-(-5) = t+5.
