Fundamentals of Heat and Mass Transfer Seventh Edition Problem – 1.21

A square isothermal chip is of width w = 5 mm on a side and is mounted in a substrate such that its side and back surfaces are well insulated, while the front surface is exposed to the flow of a coolant at T infinity = I5 degree C. From reliability considerations, the chip temperature…

A furnace for processing semiconductor materials is formed by a silicon carbide chamber that is zone-heated on the top section and cooled on the lower section. With the elevator in the lowest position, a robot arm inserts the silicon wafer on the mounting pins. In a production operation, the wafer is rapidly moved toward the…

The thermal conductivity of a sheet of rigid, extruded insulation is reported to be k = 0.029 W/m·K, the measured temperature difference across a 20mm-thick sheet of the material is T1-T2 =10°C. (a) What is the heat flux through a 2m x 2m sheet of insulation? (b) What is the rate of heat transfer through…

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…
