Consider steady state, one-dimensional heat conduction in an infinite slab of thickness 2L (L = 1 m) as shown in the figure. The conductivity (k) of the material varies with temperature as k = CT, where T is the temperature in K, and C is a constant equal to 2 W·m⁻¹·K⁻². There is a uniform heat generation of 1280 kW/m³ in the slab. If both faces of the slab are maintained at 600 K, then the temperature at x = 0 is _______ K (in integer).
