Homework Statement
Please refer the image
I am not sure if my solution is right, especially about the steady state condition. Am I allowed to assume T' > T1? Or should I consider 2 opposite heat fluxes and figure out their difference
Please be kind to help

That all looks right.
##T'>T_1## is a perfectly reasonable assumption, but it does not need to be an assumption if the positive direction for the heat transfer fluxes is defined (rather than taking it be a non-negative quantity). Your equations are valid regardless of the values of the temperatures if the positive flow direction is defined to be from external wall 2 to external wall 1.

Thank You! That has really helped @haruspex
