Question
A plane wall of thickness 20 mm is exposed to surrounding air at 30 °C. A heat
source of 500 W/m³ is applied to the wall uniformly. A thermocouple is installed at
the center of the wall thickness which denotes the origin x = 0. At steady state, it is
desirable that the thermocouple reading is 48 °C. Considering four different materials
as given in Table 1, choose any two of the materials for your analysis. Analyze the
effects of choosing these materials on the convective coefficient and explain why.
