Mild steel nails were driven through a solid
wood wall consisting of two layers, each 15
mm thick, for reinforcement. If the total cross-
sectional area of the nails is 0.75% of the wall
area, determine the unit thermal conductance
of the composite wall, total heat flow, heat
flow through the nail alone and the percent of
the total heat flow that passes through the
nails when the temperature difference across
the wall is 35'C. Neglect contact resistance
between the wood layers. Wood (Pine) (ky) =
0.15 W/(m K); Mild steel (1% C) (kg) = 43 W/(m

2. In an experiment to measure the thermal conductivity of beef was formed into a square section
block 5 cm x 5 cm and 1 cm thick. The edges of the block were insulated, and heat was supplied
continuously to one face of the block at a rate of 0.80 W. The temperatures of each face were
measured with thermocouples and found to be 28.5°C and 23.3°C, respectively. What is the
thermal conductivity of beef?
