The top of a 30 cm I-beam is maintained at a temperature of 260°C, while the bottom is at 93°C. The thickness of the web is 1.25 cm. Air at 260°C is blowing along the side of the beam so that h= 40 W/(m2 K). The thermal conductivity of the steel may be assumed constant and equal to 43 W/(m K). Find the temperature distribution along the web from top to bottom and plot the results.
