Fundamentals of Heat and Mass Transfer – Problem 2.5

ByEngineeringCheatSheet.com

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, and x in meters.

Experimental results for heat transfer over a flat plate with an extremely rough surface were found to be correlated by an expression of the form Nux=0.04 Rex0.9 Pr1/3 where Nux is the local value of the Nusselt number at a position x measured from the leading edge of the plate. Obtain an expression for the ratio of the average heat transfer coefficient hˉx to the local coefficient hx
