Draw the FBD diagram of the figure shown below:
Two metal spheres are made of the same material and have the same diameter, but one is solid and the other is
hollow. If each is given the same amount of energy
the two spheres increase their temperatures by the same amount
the solid sphere becomes warmer than the hollow one
the hollow sphere becomes warmer than the solid one
A 10-cm-thick wall is to be constructed with 2.5-m-long wood studs (k = 0.11 W/m·K) that have a cross section of 10 cm * 10 cm. At some point the builder ran out of those studs and started using pairs of 2.5-m-long wood studs that have a cross section of 5 cm * 10 cm nailed to each other instead. The manganese steel nails (k = 50 W/m·K) are 10 cm long and have a diameter of 0.4 cm. A total of 50 nails are used to connect the two studs, which are mounted to the wall such that the nails cross the wall. The temperature difference between the inner and outer surfaces of the wall is 8°C. Assuming the thermal contact resistance between the two layers to be negligible, determine the rate of heat transfer (a) through a solid stud and (b) through a stud pair of equal length and width nailed to each other. (c) Also determine the effective conductivity of the nailed stud pair.
