6. a. The heat flux applied to the walls of the biomass combustion furnace is 20 W/m2. The furnace walls have a thickness of 10 mm and a thermal conductivity of 12 W/m.K. If the wall surface temperature is measured to be 50oC on the left and 30oC on the right, prove that conduction heat transfer occurs at a steady state!b. Heating the iron cylinder on the bottom side is done by placing the iron on the hotplate. This iron has a length of 20 cm. The surface temperature of the hotplate is set at 300oC while the top side of the iron is in contact with the still outside air. To reach the desired hotplate temperature, it takes 5 minutes. Then it takes 15 minutes to measure the temperature of the upper side of the iron cylinder at 300oC. Show 3 proofs that heat transfer occurs transiently

1. Humans are able to control their rates of heat production and heat loss to maintain a
nearly constant core temperature of Te = 37°C under a wide range of environmental
conditions. This process is called thermoregulation. From the perspective of calculating
heat transfer between a human body and its surroundings, we focus on a layer of skin:
fat, with its outer surface exposed to the environment and its inner surface at a
temperature slightly less than the core temperature, T = 35°C = 308 K. Consider a person
with a skin/fat layer of thickness L =
mm and effective thermal conductivity k = 0.3
"- The person has a surface area A = 1.8 m? and is dressed in a bathing suit. The
m· K
emissivity of the skin is ɛ = 0.95.
a). When the person is in still air at T = 282 K, what is the skin surface
temperature and rate of heat loss to the environment? Convection heat transfer
to the air is characterized by a free convection coefficient of h 2
m2 -K
b). When the person is in water at T = 282,…
