The ears of a rabbit can be thought of as two rectangular fins that dissipate heat. The dimensions are 0.1 cm thickness, 3 cm width, and 7 cm length. The average body temperature of a rabbit is 38°C. Assume this to be the temperature of the base of the head where the ears are located. The top of the head can be assumed to be a surface with area 42 cm², neglecting the area (including the base) of the ears. Assume an adiabatic tip condition for the ears. Also, neglect radiation. The thermal conductivity of the rabbit's skin is 3 W/m.°C. The convection coefficient and temperature of the air are 8 W/m².°c and 10°C, respectively. With this in mind, find the total heat transfer from the top of the rabbit's head including the ears.

An industrial cold room has four 200 mm thick walls made of concrete. The walls are insulated on the outside with a layer of foam 60 mm thick. Cladding with a thickness of 15 mm protects the foam on the outside from the elements. The composite wall surface temperatures are –3 °C on the inside and 18 °C on the outside of the room respectively. The thermal conductivities of concrete, foam and cladding are 0.75, 0.35 and 0.5 W/m K respectively. Assuming perfect thermal contact between the layers of the composite walls, draw the typical temperature distribution across the layers and determine the heat energy gained per hour through all 4 walls of the room with a total surface area of 20 m2.
