Material A is generating heat at a rate of 11.25 x 10^3 W/m^3 and is 40cm thick and has a thermal conductivity of 10 W/mK. Material B is 50 cm thick with an unknown thermal conductiviy. material C is 30 cm thick and has an unknown thermal conductivity. The structure is cooled by a fluid on both sides at 25 (C) with a heat transfer coefficient of 100 W/m^2K. If your thermocouples measure T1 to be 145 (C) and T2 to be 195 (C), find the thermal conductivites of materials B and C.
