A flat wall is exposed to an environmental temperature of 38 degrees C. The wall is covered with a layer of insulation 2.5 cm thick whose thermal conductivity is 1.8 W/(m.K), and the temperature of the wall on the inside of the insulation is 320 degrees C. The wall loses heat to the environment by convection. Compute the value of the convection heat transfer coefficient that must be maintained on the outer surface of the insulation to ensure that the...

An aluminum transmission line with a diameter of 20 mm has an electrical resistance of R'elec= 2.636 × 10-4 Ω/m and carries a current of 700 A. The line is subjected to frequent and severe cross winds, increasing the probability of contact between adjacent lines, thereby causing sparks and creating a potential fire hazard for nearby vegetation. The remedy is to insulate the line, but with the adverse effect of increasing the conductor operating temperature. (a) Calculate the conductor temperature...
