A flat wall is exposed to an environmental temperature of 38°C. The wall is covered with a layer of insulation 2.5 cm thick whose thermal conductivity is 1.4W / (m ^2 *` C and the temperature of the wall on the inside of the insulation is 315°C. The wall loses heat to the environment by convection. Compute the value of the convection heat transfer coefficient which must be maintained on the outer surface of the insulation to ensure that the outer surface temperature does not exceed 41°C.

A solar flux q ^ * falls on a unit length of a very thin tube of diameter d. Inside the tube is a stationary water with initial temperature T_{i} (same as ambient and no gradient inside at any time) and absorbs some of the heat while the rest leaves by convection from the surface to the ambient at T_{m} Develop an equation that can help to determine the temperature of the water at any time. Plot the temperature of the water against time. For a long elapsed time what will be the temperature? To simplify the analysis use theta = T*T_{e} * d*theta = dT theta_{i} = T_{i}*T_{o} (initial condition.
