A plate (Z + 0.3) m long and (Z + 0. 1) m wide, with a thickness of (Z + 12) mm is made from stainless steel (k = 16 W/mK). The temperature at the bottom surface of the plate is 100 °C maintained by an electrical heater supplied by 200 V and 0.25 A. In a steady-state condition, assuming that the plate is perfectly insulated on all sides except top surface, find temperature at the top surface of the plate.

A copper phone wire has essentially no snag between poles 35m apart on a winter day when the temperature is −20oC. How much longer is the wire on a summer day when Tc = 35oC? (For copper α = 1.70 × 10−51/K.)
Liquid helium has a very low boiling point, 4.2 K, as well as a very low latent heat of vaporization, 2.00 x 104 J/kg. If energy is transferred to a container of liquid helium at the boiling point from an immersed electric heater at a rate of 10.0 W, how long does it take to boil away 2.00 kg of the liquid?
The temperature and pressure around the surface of a star are 1.38 x 107 K and 0.0516 Pa. Calculate the rms speed of free electrons (mass = 9.11 x 10-31 kg) there, assuming they are an ideal gas.
Objects A and B have the same size and shape with emissivities eA and eB and temperatures TA and TB, respectively. (a) If eA = eB and TB = 4TA, what is the ratio PB /PA of their radiated powers? (b) If, instead, they radiate the same power and eA = 4eB, what is the ratio TB /TA of their Kelvin temperatures?
A 2.1-m-long, 0.2-cm-diameter electrical wire extends across a room that is maintained at 20°C. Heat is generated in the wire as a result of resistance heating, and the surface temperature of the wire is measured to be 180°C in steady operation. Also, the voltage drop and electric current through the wire are measured to be 110 V and 3 A, respectively. Disregarding any heat transfer by radiation, determine the convection heat transfer coefficient for heat transfer between the outer surface of the wire and the air in the room.
In an experiment to determine the thermal conductivity of a new metal alloy, a bar of the metal is completely surrounded by insulation and exposed to 707 W of constant heat energy at one end. The bar has a radius of 0.074 m and a length of 0.331 m. The entire set-up is place in a cold room and once the system has reached steady state conditions, the temperature at the hot end is measured to be 63.8°C and the temperature at the cold end is measured to be 14.9°C. What is the thermal conductivity (in W/m∙K) of the metal alloy [round your final answer to zero decimal places]? Another metal alloy was tested using the same set-up (same size and heat input) as question above. If the temperature difference between the hot end and the cold end for this test was found to be 30°C, it would indicate that this material is a better conductor of heat than the material tested in question above.

A student living in a 3-m * 4-m * 4-m dormitory room turns on her 100-W fan before she leaves the room on a summer day, hoping that the room will be cooler when she comes back in the evening. Assuming all the doors and windows are tightly closed and disregarding any heat transfer through the walls and the windows, determine the temperature in the room when she comes back 8 h later. Use specific heat values at room temperature, and assume the room to be at 100 kPa and 20°C in the morning when she leaves.

A 0.3-cm-thick, 12-cm-high, and 18-cm-long circuit board houses 80 closely spaced logic chips on one side, each dissipating 0.06 W. The board is impregnated with copper fillings and has an effective thermal conductivity of 16 W/m·K. All the heat generated in the chips is conducted across the circuit board and is dissipated from the back side of the board to the ambient air. Determine the temperature difference between the two sides of the circuit board.
Consider steady heat transfer between two large parallel plates at constant temperatures of T1 = 290 K and T2 = 150 K that are L = 2 cm apart. Assuming the surfaces to be black (emissivity « = 1), determine the rate of heat transfer between the plates per unit surface area assuming the gap between the plates is (a) filled with atmospheric air, (b) evacuated, (c) filled with fiberglass insulation, and (d) filled with superinsulation having an apparent thermal conductivity of 0.00015 W/m·K.
