Heat flow and thermal profile in a 1D harmonic lattice with coordinate-dependent masses has been calculated in the thermodynamic limit. It is shown in the particular example of a 1D harmonic lattice with linearly increasing masses that in standard Langevin conditions of contact, a temperature gradient can form, and Fourier's law can be obeyed.
