Two identical aluminum plates with thickness of 30 cm are pressed against each other at an average pressure of 1 atm. The interface, sandwiched between the two plates, is filled with glycerin. On the left outer surface, it is subjected to a uniform heat flux of 7800 W/m2 at a constant temperature of 50°C. On the right outer surface, the temperature is maintained constant at 30°C. Determine the thermal contact conductance of the glycerin at the interface, if the thermal conductivity of the aluminum plates is 237 W/m·K. Discuss whether the value of the thermal contact conductance is reasonable or not.
