1a) A copper wire 4.4 um in diameter and 318.9 um long has a temperature at one end of 35 °C and 32 °C at the other. Calculate the rate of heat flow through the wire, in Watts. (For copper kC= 400 W/mK)
1)b) The thermal conductivity of air at room temperature is 0.028 W/mK and its density is 1.16 Kg/m3. The average air molecule travels at 525.4 m/s and collides about every 267 ps with another air molecule. How much heat (in J) is needed to raise the temperature of a cubic meter of air by 10 °C?
