Chapter 1, Problem 1.40P
As a designer working for a major electric appliance manufacturer, you are required to estimate the amount of fiberglass insulation packing (k = 0.035 W/m K) that is needed for a kitchen oven shown in the figure below. The fiberglass layer is to be sandwiched
between a 2-mm-thick aluminum cladding plate on the outside and a 5-mm-thick stainless steel plate on the inside that forms the core of the oven. The insulation thickness is such that the outside cladding temperature does not exceed

The 5-mm-thick bottom of a 200-mm-diameter pan may be made from aluminum (k= 240 W/m·K) or copper (k= 390 W/m·K). When used to boil water, the surface of the bottom exposed to the water is nominally at 110°C and heat is transferred from the stove to the pan at a rate of 1200 W.
What is the temperature of the surface in contact with the stove for each of the two materials?Aluminum:T= _____ °CCopper:T= _____ °C
Question 1: A glass window of width W = 1 m and height H = 2 m is 5 mm thick and has a thermal conductivity of kg =1.4 W/m.K. If the inner and outer surface temperatures of the glass are 15 oC and -20 oC, respectively, on a cold winter day, what is the rate of heat loss through the glass? To reduce heat loss through windows, it is customary to use a double pane construction in which adjoining panes are separated by an air space. If the spacing is 10 mm and the glass surfaces in contact with the air have temperatures of 20 oC and -15 oC, what is the rate of heat loss from a 1 m x 2 m window? The thermal conductivity of air is ka = 0.024 W/m.K.
A fluid has a temperature of 100C and thermal film coefficient of 50 W/m^2-K. Solve for the heat transferred per sq m of contact if the surface it is in contact with has a surface temperature of 20C.

- A two-layer wall is made of two metal plates, with surface roughness of about 25 mm, pressed together at an average pressure of 10 MPa. The first layer is a stainless steel plate with a thickness of 5 mm and a thermal conductivity of 14 W/m∙K.
