Consider a 34 cm thick concrete wall with a thermal conductivity of 0.82 W/m·K. The temperature of the left surface is held constant at 42°C, whereas the right face is exposed to a flow of 12°C air with a convection heat transfer coefficient of 23 W/m2·K. Neglecting heat transfer by radiation, find the right wall surface temperature and the heat flux through the wall.
