- A plane wall 15 cm thick has a thermal conductivity given by the relation k=2.0+0.0005T[W/mK] where T is in kelvin. If one surface of this wall is maintained at 150C and the other at 50C, determine the rate of heat transfer per square meter. Sketch the temperature distribution through the wall.arrow_forward1.10 A heat flux meter at the outer (cold) wall of a concrete building indicates that the heat loss through a wall of 10-cm thickness is . If a thermocouple at the inner surface of the wall indicates a temperature of 22°C while another at the outer surface shows 6°C, calculate the thermal conductivity of the concrete and compare your result with the value in Appendix 2, Table 11.arrow_forwardA high-speed computer is located in a temperature-controlled room at 26C.

- A plane wall, 7.5 cm thick, generates heat internally at the rate of 105 W/m3. One side of the wall is insulated, and the other side is exposed to an environment at 90C. The convection heat transfer coefficient between the wall and the environment is 500 W/m2 K. If the thermal conductivity of the wall is 12 W/m K, calculate the maximum temperature in the wall.arrow_forwardShow that the rate of heat conduction per unit length through a long, hollow cylinder of inner radius ri and outer radius ro, made of a material whose thermal conductivity varies linearly with temperature, is given by qkL=TiTo(rori)/kmA where Ti = temperature at the inner surface To = temperature at the outer surface A=2(rori)/ln(ro/ri)km=ko[1+k(Ti+To)/2]L=lenthofcyclinderarrow_forward2.38 The addition of aluminum fins has been suggested to increase the rate of heat dissipation from one side of an electronic device 1 m wide and 1 m tall. The fins are to be rectangular in cross section, 2.5 cm long and 0.25 cm thick, as shown in the figure. There are to be 100 fins per meter. The convection heat transfer coefficient, both for the wall and the fins, is estimated to be K. With this information determine the percent increase in the rate of heat transfer of the finned wall compared to the bare wall.arrow_forward

If the total cross-sectional area of the nails is 0.5% of the wall area, determine the unit thermal conductance of the composite wall and the percent of the total heat flow that passes through the nails when the temperature difference across the wall is 25°C.
