A large stainless-steel plate (k = 10 W/m.°C) has a thickness of 2 cm. Due to the electricity flowing through the plate, it generates heat which was dissipated form the sides of the plate. If the surface temperature of the plate was 50°C while the heat generated was 1 x 106 W/m3, calculate the maximum temperature inside the plate.

The blades of a wind turbine turn a large shaft at a relatively slow speed. The rotational speed is increased by a gearbox that has an efficiency of 0.93. In turn, the gearbox output shaft drives an electric generator with an efficiency of 0.95. The cylindrical nacelle, which houses the gearbox, generator, and associated equipment, is of length L = 6 m and diameter D = 3 m. If the turbine produces P = 2.5 MW of electrical power, and the air and surroundings temperatures are T = 25 oC and Tsur = 20 oC, respectively, determine the minimum possible operating temperature inside the nacelle. The emissivity of the nacelle is 0.83, and the convective heat transfer coefficient is h = 35 W/m2 .K. The surface of the nacelle that is adjacent to the blade hub can be considered to be adiabatic, and solar irradiation may be neglected. Use Fin or N number of fins to reduce the Ts of the nacelle less than 143 oC
