What is the analogical reason between heat transfer by conduction and flow of electricity through ohmic resistance? Use a composite wall of a building to illustrate the concept. A composite slab with three layers of thermal conductivities k1, k2, k3 and thickness ti, t2, të respectively, are placed in a close contact. Derive an expression from the first principle for the heat flow through the composite slab per unit surface area in terms of the overall temperature difference across the slab.
A very long, rectangular cross-section block is made from metal with the following properties: thermal conductivity = 130 W/mK, density = 2771 kg/m³, and specific heat
capacity = 703 J/kgK. Initially all 4 sides of the cross section are maintained at 373 K. Then the temperature of one side is suddenly increased to 473 K. The temperature
profile in the block will be investigated using an explicit finite difference model. If the time step is fixed at 5.5 seconds, what is the limit for node spacing that should be
used to ensure stability of the solution? Give your numerical answer in mm to 1 decimal place.

brick, and 250 mm building brick. The inside wall is at a temperature of
600°C and the atmospheric temperature is 20°C. Calculate the heat loss
per m' of wall area and the temperature of the outside wall surface of the
furnace and the temperature at each interface throughout the wall. The
heat transfer coefficient for the outside surface is 10 W/m² °k and the
thermal conductivities of the fiber brick, insulating brick and the building
brick are 1.4,0.2 and 0.7 W/m.°C respectively.
