1. A wall 2 cm thick is to be constructed from material that has an average thermal
conductivity of 1.3 W/m C. The wall is to be insulated with material having an average
thermal conductivity of 0.35 W/m C, so that the heat loss per square meter will not
exceed 1830 W. Assuming that the inner and outer surface temperatures of the insulated
wall are 1300 and 30 C, calculate the thickness of insulation required.

- 1.3 A furnace wall is to be constructed of brick having standard dimensions of Two kinds of material are available. One has a maximum usable temperature of 1040°C and a thermal conductivity of 1.7 W/(m K), and the other has a maximum temperature limit of 870°C and a thermal conductivity of 0.85 W/(m K). The bricks have the same cost and are laid in any manner, but we wish to design the most economical wall for a furnace with a temperature of 1040°C on the hot side and 200°C on the cold side.

This study introduces innovative fin structures comprising longitudinal fins and cylindrical rings to enhance heat transfer. Comparative experiments are initially designed to assess the thermal performance of various Battery Thermal Management Systems (BTMS). Results indicate that the PCM-Fin system outperforms both the pure battery system and the PCM system. Numerical simulations, validated with experimental data, uncover the underlying mechanisms.
