This is a problem of Non Steady state 1-D heat transfer through different materials having
different thermal properties;

Problem Statement:
We have a composite wall of the above thermal properties. Suppose, for a very small period of
time a certain amount of heat flux is produced at x = 0 and then it is cooled down. This is a
uniform pulse of heat flux. The thermal model is
x=0
We have to find out the temperature field along x direction with respect to time or

Does this heat pulse occur only when t=0, or it remains in the whole process? If it only occurs
when t=0, we have,
However, from the boundary condition (2) (below), it seems the flux q remains in the whole process.
If this is the case, then q should be added to the equations other than as boundary condition.
