Consider one-dimensional steady state heat conduction along x-axis (0 ≤ x ≤ L), through a plane wall with the boundary surfaces (x=0 and x=L) maintained at temperatures of 0°C and 100°C. Heat is generated uniformly throughout the wall. Choose the CORRECT statement.
A
The direction of heat transfer will be from the surface at 100°C to the surface at 0°C.
B
The maximum temperature inside the wall must be greater than 100°C.
C
The temperature distribution is linear within the wall.
D
The temperature distribution is symmetric about the mid-plane of the wall.

Correct : b
