The shield of a nuclear reactor can be idealized as a slab with a face area of 6 ft2 and a thermal conductivity k = 2 Btu / hr*ft*°F. Heat is generated in the shield at a steady rate S = S0 exp(-bx) [Btu / hr*ft3 ] where x = 0 denotes the inner surface close to the nuclear reactor and the outer surface is at x = L. The temperature is maintained at 300 °F at the inner surface...
