3. Consider a plane composite wall that is composed of two materials (). The thickness of the two walls are , and . Neglect the contact resistances at the interfaces. The left-side face of the composite wall is insulated and the right-side face is exposed to convection with . Thermal energy is generated uniformly in material at a rate of . Assume steady-state heat conduction in the direction, (a) (4 pts) determine the temperature at the interface between layer and layer (). (b) (7 pts) If the temperature distribution in layer A is governed by:
