1. (By Hand) The inner and outer surface temperature of a plate-glass wall 5mm thick are 15C and 5C respectively. If the thermal conductivity of the glass is 1.4W/m-K and the wall has side dimensions of 1x3m, find the heat transfer. (Ans. 8.4kW)

Step 1
The temperature difference is given by the difference between the inner and outer surface temperatures: ΔT = T_inner - T_outer ΔT = 15°C - 5°C ΔT = 10°C Show more…

Consider a large plane wall of thickness L = 0.2 m, thermal conductivity k = 1.2 W/m°C, and the surface area A = 15 m². The two sides of the wall are maintained at constant temperatures of T1 = 120°C and T2 = 50°C, respectively. Do the following: (a) Find temperature distribution equation with heat generation of 50 W/m³. (b) Sketch the temperature profile in the wall (c) The value of temperature at x = 0.1 m and x = 0.15 m. (d) Find both q and heat flux at x = 0.1 m and x = 0.15 m.

The block in the drawing has dimensions L₀×2L₀×3L₀, where L₀ = 0.5 m. The block has a thermal conductivity of 300 J/(s·m·°C). In drawings A, B, and C, heat is conducted through the block in three different directions; in each case, the temperature of the warmer surface is 37 °C and that of the cooler surface is 8 °C. Determine the heat that flows in 3 s for each case.
