- 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_forwardYou are asked to estimate the maximum human body temperature if the metabolic heat produced in your body could escape only by tissue conduction and later on the surface by convection. Simplify the human body as a cylinder of L=1.8 m in height and ro= 0.15 m in radius. Further, simplify the heat transfer process inside the human body as a 1-D situation when the temperature only depends on the radial coordinater from the centerline. The governing dT +q""=0 dr equation is written as 1 d k- r dr r = 0, dT dr =0 dT r=ro -k -=h(T-T) dr (k-0.5 W/m°C), ro is the radius of the cylinder (0.15 m), h is the convection coefficient at the skin surface (15 W/m² °C), Tair is the air temperature (30°C). q" is the average volumetric heat generation rate in the body (W/m³) and is defined as heat generated per unit volume per second.

Model the egg as a sphere with radius of 2.3 cm that has properties similar to water with a density of = 1000 kg/m3 and thermal conductivity of k = 0.606 Watts/(mC) and specific heat of c = 4182 J/(kg C). Suppose that an egg is fully cooked when the temperature at the center reaches 70 C. Initially the egg is taken out of the fridge at 4 C and placed in the boiling water at 100 C.
