Answer 1

This is an interesting question.

The temperature drop in a heat generating solid under steady state conduction depends to a greater extent on material quality. It also depends on a solid arrangement, structure, and size.

The environment also effects. It also depends on heat generation rate and thermal conductivity of conductor. Also depends upon medium through which it is transferred.

Hope this will prove helpful.
