Study On Second Law Exploration In A Rectangular Slab With An Internal Thermal Production

Abstract

In this work entropy production rates of thermal conduction in a slab with an internal thermal production has been carried out. It is considered that, the entire setup is in steady state and one dimensional.  In this case, the rectangular slab exterior surfaces were subjected to two different thermal conditions. Symmetric and asymmetric boundary conditions are enforced on the rectangular slab. Here temperature distribution and entropy production in the rectangular slab was analysed graphically for various pertinent parameters. The observed result can be beneficial in manufacturing industry oriented procedures associated to conduction thermal transference
