a. sum of rate of heat transfer by convection out of the element (x+dx) and heat transfer by convection from the surface between x to (x+dx)
b. sum of rate of heat transfer by conduction out of the element (x+dx) and heat transfer by conduction from the surface between x to (x+dx)
c. sum of rate of heat transfer by conduction out of the element (x+dx) and heat transfer by convection from the surface between x to (x+dx)
d. none of the above

ANSWER: sum of rate of heat transfer by conduction out of the element (x+dx) and heat transfer by convection from the surface between x to (x+dx)
