Fundamentals of Heat and Mass Transfer – Problem 2.15

Consider the geometry of Problem 2.14 for the case where the thermal conductivity varies with temperature as k = ko + aT. where ko = 10W/m-K, a =-10-3 W/m-K2, and T is in kelvins. The gradient at surface B is partial differential T/partial differential x = 30 K/m. What is partial differential T/partial differential y at…

Fundamentals of Heat and Mass Transfer – Problem 2.8

To determine the effect of the temperature dependence of the thermal conductivity on the temperature distribution in a solid, consider a material for which this dependence may be represented as k = ko + aT where ko is a positive constant and a is a coefficient that may be positive or negative. Sketch the steady-state…

Fundamentals of Heat and Mass Transfer – Problem 2.5

Assume steady-state, one-dimensional heat conduction through the symmetric shape shown. Assuming that there is no internal heat generation, derive an expression for the thermal conductivity k(x) for these conditions: A(x) = (1 – x), T(x) = 300(1 – 2x – x3), and q = 6000 W, where A is in square meters, T in kelvins,…
