Multiple choice

Consider steady-state heat conduction across the thickness in a plane composite wall (as shown in the figure) exposed to convection conditions on both sides.

Given: hi = 20W / m2 k; h0 = 55 W / m2K; $T_{\infty, 0}$= 20C; k1 = 20W / mk; k2 = 500 W / mk; L1 = 0.30 m and L2 = 0.15 m. Assuming negligible contact resistance between the wall surfaces, the interface temperature, T (in °C), of the two walls will be
