Accordingly, the expression for the temperature distribution (temperature profile) becomes:
The temperature distribution is thus linear (straight line) across the plane wall.

Overall heat transfer coefficient through a plane wall (U):Consider the plane wall, shown in the figure, exposed to a hot fluid A on one side and a cooler fluid B on the other side. The rate of heat transfer is expressed by these three expressions 1) Heat transfer by convection from fluid A to wall surface (1):
2) Heat transfer by conduction the plane wall:

The wall conduction term may often can be neglected, since a thin wall of large thermal conductivity is generally used in heat exchangers. Also, one of the convection coefficients is often much smaller than the other and hence dominates determination of the overall heat transfer coefficient. For example, if one of the fluids is a gas and the other is a liquid or a liquid-vapor mixture such as boiling or condensation, the gas-side convection coefficient is much smaller.
h is small, in case of gases (low viscosity and low specific heat) and in case of laminar flow (low velocity).h is big, in case of liquids (high viscosity and high specific heat) and in case of turbulent flow (high velocity).

Example 1:
An iron plate of thickness L with thermal conductivity k is subjected to a constant, uniform heat flux qo (W/m²) at the boundary surface at x = 0. From the other boundary surface at x = L, heat is dissipated by convection into a fluid at temperature T∞ with a heat transfer coefficient h. The figure shows the geometry and the nomenclature.Develop an expression for the determination of the surface temperatures T1 and T2 at the surfaces x = 0 and x = L. Also, develop an expression for the overall heat transfer coefficient U.Calculate the surface temperatures T1 and T2 and the overall heat transfer coefficient U for L = 2 cm, k = 20 W/m.K, qo = 105 W/m2 , T∞ = 50oC, and h = 500 W/m2.K.
Data: L = 2 cm, k = 20 W/m2 °C, qo = 105 W/m2 , T∞ = 50oC, and h = 500 W/m2 °C.Find: T1, T2, U Solution: Applying the thermal resistance concept:

Overall heat transfer coefficient in pipes: Consider a pipe exposed to a hot fluid on the inner side and a cooler fluid on the outer side, as shown in the figure. The area of convection is not the same for both fluids in this case, these areas depend on the inside pipe diameter and wall thickness.The heat transfer is expressed by the following relations:1) Heat transfer by convection from the hot fluid on the inner side to the inner wall surface of the pipe:

Example 2:Steam at 120oC flows in an insulated pipe. The pipe is made of mild steel (kp =45 W/m.K) and has an inside radius of 5 cm and an outside radius of 5.6 cm. The pipe is covered with 2.5 cm layer of magnesia insulation (kin = 0.071 W/m.K). The inside heat transfer coefficient is 85 W/m2.K and the outside heat transfer coefficient is 12.5 W/m2.K. Determine the overall heat transfer coefficients Uo and Ui and the heat transfer rate from the steam per meter of pipe length, if the surrounding air temperature is 20oC. Data: Ti = 120oC, kp = 45 W/m.K, r1 = 0.05 m, r2 = 0.056 m,
r3 = 0.081 m, kin = 0.071 W/m.K, hi = 85 W/m2.K, ho = 12.5 W/m2.K, To = 20oC.Find: Uo , Ui ,
