SUMMARY
The discussion confirms that the heat transfer between two walls is independent of temperature assumptions when the positive direction for heat transfer fluxes is clearly defined. Specifically, defining the positive flow direction from external wall 2 to external wall 1 allows for valid equations regardless of the temperature values. This approach eliminates the need for specific temperature assumptions, streamlining the analysis of heat transfer scenarios.
