You are designing a chamber to contain the radiation emitted by nuclear decay during a fusion reaction. The left face of the (plane) chamber wall (x = 0) is exposed to the radiation and the right face of the wall (x = L) is perfectly insulated. To facilitate the fusion reaction, the left face of the wall is maintained at fixed temperature To. The radiation penetrates the wall causing uniform heat generation that varies with location inside the wall as à(x) = 40 (1 - 1) where do [W/m^3] is a constant. Determine an expression for the temperature distribution in the wall T(x) assuming the thermal conductivity of the wall (k) is constant.
