A cork slab 10 cm thick has one face at -12 degrees C and the other face at 21 degrees C. If the mean thermal conductivity of the cork in this temperature range is 0.042 J/s m degree C, what is the rate of heat transfer through 1 m^2 of wall?
One side of a copper block 4 cm thick is maintained at 175oC. The other side is covered with a layer of fiberglass 1.5 cm thick. The outside of the fiberglass is maintained at 80°C, and the total heat flow through the composite slab is 300 W. What is the area of the slab?
A carpenter builds an exterior house wall with a layer of wood 2.9 cm thick on the outside and a layer of Styrofoam insulation 2.1 cm thick on the inside wall surface. The wood has k=0.080W/(m⋅K), and the Styrofoam has k= 0.010 W/(m⋅K). The interior surface temperature is 19.0 ∘C , and the exterior surface temperature is -10.0 ∘C . What is the temperature at the plane where the wood meets the Styrofoam?
Consider
the rate of heat conduction through a double-paned window that has
a 1.45-m2 area and is made of two panes of
0.715-cm-thick glass separated by a 1.25-cm air gap. You can ignore
the increased heat transfer in the air gap due to convection.
Calculate the rate of heat conduction through this window, in
watts, given that the inside surface temperature is 15.0°C, while
the outside temperature is -10.0°C. Make the assumption that the
temperature differences across the two glass...
