(a)

Calculate the rate of heat conduction (in W) through house walls that are 15.0 cm thick and that have an average thermal conductivity twice that of glass wool. Assume there are no windows or doors. The surface area of the walls is 115 m2 and their inside surface is at 19.0°C, while their outside surface is at 5.00°C.

Uniform area, heat transfer problem A stove's walls are made up of a flat inner insulating board 0.01m thick (thermal conductivity: 0.2 W m-1K-1) and a flat outer steel sheet 0.01m thick (thermal conductivity: 26 W m-1K-1). A mineral-wool (thermal conductivity: 0.065 W m-1K-1) is placed between these sheets. The inside temperature of the wall is 773K, how thick does the insulation have to be to maintain the outside wall temperature at 323K ? Assume that the ambient air temperature...

hot fluid at 230°C flows through a 1-meter pipe of 0.02m outside radius and 0.015m inside radius. The thermal conductivity of the pipe is 0.5 W/m.k, and the heat transfer coefficient (hi) inside is 300 W/m2 K. The pipe is located in a room at 30°C, and the heat transfer coefficient (ho) at the outer surface is 10 W/m2 k. Calculate the temperature drop (∆T) across the pipe wall.
