Homework Equations
d/dx(kdT/dx) + S = 0 (for steady state)
q_cond = -kAdT/dx
q_gen = S*Vol
The Attempt at a Solution
So I tried to equate q_cond to q_gen but it seemed to give me the wrong answer. Does anyone know why? I believe to get the right answer I have to use the first equation I wrote in the relevant equations section.
Does my method not work because S is not uniform? But then it tells me that at x = 0, S = So so it shouldn't matter since we have a boundary condition?
