A flat wall is exposed to an environmental temperature of 38 oC. The wall is covered with a layer of insulation 2.5 cm thick whose thermal conductivity is 1.4 W/m oC, and the temperature of the wall on the inside of the insulation is 315 oC. The wall loses heat to the environment by convection. Compute the value of the convection heat-transfer coefficient that must be maintained on the outer surface of the insulation to ensure that the outer-surface temperature does not exceed 41oC

Conduction and Convection

When energy travels from one object to another it is said to have undergone heat transfer. Heat transfer is nothing but the transfer of thermal energy or internal energy from one thing to another, like e.g., when a vessel with water, kept on top of a burner, heats up because of the flame underneath it.
