In the case where there is a multilayer wall of more than one material present, as shown in Fig. 4.3-1, we proceed as follows. The temperature profiles in the three materials A, B, and C are shown. Since the heat flow q must be the same in each layer, we can write Fourier's equation for each layer as
Equation 4.3-1
