Chapter 4, Problem 4.2P
A two-dimensional rectangular plate is subjected to prescribed boundary conditions. Using the results of the exact solution for the heat equation presented in Section 4.2, calculate the temperature at the midpoint (1, 0.5) by considering the first five nonzero terms of the infinite series that must be evaluated. Assess the error resulting from using only the first three terms of the infinite series. Plot the temperature distributions

A long wire of diameter D = 2 mm is submerged in an oil bath of temperature T∞ = 23°C. The wire has an electrical resistance per unit length of Re′=0.01 Ω/m. If a current of I = 180 A flows through the wire and the convection coefficient is h = 529 W/m2 · K, what is the steady-state temperature of the wire? From the time the current is applied, how long does it take for the wire to reach a temperature that is within 2°C of the steady-state value? The properties of the wire are ρ = 2,334 kg/m3, c = 537 J/kg · K, and k = 43 W/m · K.
An important concern in the study of heat transfer is to determine the steady-state temperature distribution of the thin plate when the temperature around the boundary is known. Assume the plate shown in the figure represents the cross section of metal beam with negligible heat flow in the direction perpendicular to the plate. Let denotes the temperature at the four interior nodes of the mesh in the figure. The temperature in the node is approximately equal to the average of the four nearest nodes-to the left, above, to right and below.
Write the system of four equations whose solution gives the estimate for the temperature
Solve the system for four equations to calculate .T1,T2,T3,T4.
A hollow aluminum sphere, with an electrical heater in the center, is used in tests to determine the thermal conductivity of insulating materials. The inner and outer radii of the sphere are o.18 and o.21 m, respectively, and testing is done under steady-state conditions with the inner surface of the aluminum maintained at 250°C. In a particular test, a spherical shell of insulation is cast on the outer surface of the sphere to a thickness of o.15 m. The system is in a room for which the air temperature is 20°C and the convection coefficient at the outer surface of the insulation is 30 W/m2. K. If 80 W is dissipated by the heater under steady-state conditions, what is the thermal conductivity of the insulation?

The measurement was made by using a large plane plate of the food material, which was 5 mm thick. It was found, under steady-state conditions,that when a temperature difference of 35°C was maintained between the two surfaces of the plate, a heat-transfer rate per unit area of 4700 W/m 2 was measured near the center of either surface.
