## Hm Plane

 doublehm_plane( double x double delta double t1 double t2 )[inline]
For a planar homogeneous thin wall, the conductive heat flow per unit area is unidirectional and based on Fourier's Law it is given by:

where is the thermal conductivity of the wall (constant at any point) and .

Considering as a function of the distance within the wall, we obtain a new expression for the conductive heat flow:

Next we will make the heat flow constant at any distance within the wall:

thus obtaining the formula which gives the value of the temperature at distance within the wall:

In the left figure of the following diagram you may notice that the distance x is considered starting from the hotter side of the wall, marked in red. Also in the right figure the value of is shown for a particular value of .

The example code below computes the value of for some particular input data.

### Example 1

#include <codecogs/engineering/heat_transfer/conduction/hm_plane.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
// the distance within the wall
double x = 0.165;

// the the thickness of the wall
double delta = 0.213;

// the temperature of the entry surface for the heat flux
double t1 = 32.257;

// the temperature of the exit surface for the heat flux
double t2 = 22.421;

// display the various input values
printf("   t1 = %.3lf\n   t2 = %.3lf\ndelta = %.3lf\n", t1, t2, delta);
printf("    x = %.3lf\n\n", x);

printf("The temperature at distance %.3lf within the wall is %.5lf\n",
x, Engineering::Heat_Transfer::Conduction::hm_plane(x, delta, t1, t2));

return 0;
}
Output
t1 = 32.257
t2 = 22.421
delta = 0.213
x = 0.165

The temperature at distance 0.165 within the wall is 24.63756

### Note

The distance within the wall x must be a real positive number less than or equal to the thickness of the wall and it must be true that .
