Question
(C) The composite wall of a refrigerator consists of three different materials; A, B, and C. Two of
the used materials have known thermal conductivity, ka = 30 W/m. K and kc=45 W/m. K, and
known thickness, LA=0.20 m and Lc = 0.15 m. The third material, B, which is sandwiched between
materials A and C, is of known thickness, LB = 0.15 m, but unknown thermal conductivity kB. Under
steady-state operating conditions, measurements reveal an outer surface temperature of Ts,0 =
20°C, an inner surface temperature of Ts,i = 600°C, and a refrigerator air temperature of To∞ =
800°C. The inside convection coefficient h is known to be 25 W/m?.K. What is the value of thermal
conductivity for material B?
