AbstractThe conductive heat transfer in a rectangular plate with internal heat generation, with one end convectively cooled and a part of the opposite end subjected to external heat flux, is considered. The remaining part of this end as well as the other sides are thermally insulated. Both uniform and nonumiform internal heat generation are considered. For the case of uniform heat generation an analytical solution has been found and for the nonuniform case a finite difference numerical solution is presented. The variation of the thermal resistance with Biot modulus, the plate geometry, the internal heat generation parameter and the type of profile of internal heat generation is discussed.
