Question

A plane wall 6.0 cm thick generates heat internally at the rate of 0.3 MW/m³. One side of the wall is insulated, and the other side is exposed to an environment at 93ºC. The convection heat-transfer coefficient between the wall and the environment is 570 W/m² · ºC. The thermal conductivity of the wall is 21 W/m · ºC. Calculate the maximum temperature in the wall.

Step 1

3 MW/m^3 = 0.3 * 10^6 W/m^3 L = 0.06 m h = 570 W/m^2 * °C A = 1 m^2 T∞ = 93°C Substitute the values into the formula: 0.3 * 10^6 * 0.06 = 570 * 1 * (Tw - 93) 18,000 = 570(Tw - 93) Tw - 93 = 18,000 / 570 Tw - 93 = 31.58 Tw = 31.58 + 93 Tw = 124.58°C Show more…
