A two-layer wall is made of two metal plates, with surface roughness of about 25 mm, pressed together at an average pressure of 10 MPa. The first layer is a stainless steel plate with a thickness of 5 mm and a thermal conductivity of 14 W/m∙K. The second layer is an aluminum plate with a thickness of 15 mm and a thermal conductivity of 237 W/m∙K. On the stainless steel side of the wall, the surface is subjected to a heat flux of 800 W/m2. On the aluminum side of the wall, the surface experiences convection heat transfer at an ambient temperature of 20°C, where the convection coefficient is 12 W/m2∙K. Determine the surface temperature of the stainless steel plate.
The average rate at which energy is conducted outward through the ground surface in North America is 54.0 mW/m2, and the average thermal conductivity of the near surface rocks is 2.50 W/m K. Assuming a surface temperature of 10.0oC, find the temperature at a depth of 10.0 km. Ignore the heat generated by the presence of radioactive elements.
Humans are able to control their rates of heat production and heat loss to maintain a nearly constant core temperature of Tc = 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 and fat, with its outer surface exposed to the environment and its inner surface at a temperature slightly less than the core temperature, Ti = 35°C = 308 K. Consider a person with a skin/fat layer of thickness L = 2 mm and effective thermal conductivity k = 0.3 Wm ⋅ K. The person has a surface area A = 1.8 m2 and is dressed in a bathing suit. The emissivity of the skin is ε = 0.95.a). When the person is in still air at T∞ = 308 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 W?2 ⋅ Kb). When the person is in water at T∞ =…
