Compare (take the ratio) the rate of heat conduction through a 20.0-cm-thick wall that has an area of 10.0 m2 and a thermal conductivity twice that of glass wool with the rate of heat conduction through a 0.750-cm-thick window that has an area of 2.00 m2, assuming the same temperature difference across each. Show a few steps. Qualitatively, explain how you can reduce heat conduction through a window in winter.

The rate of heat transfer, Q [energy/time = power] through a pipe wall between a fluid and the surroundings depends on fluid properties: density (ρ), viscosity (μ), specific heat (cp [energy/temperature/mass]); and also on pipe and flow properties: the length (l), diameter (D), and thermal conductivity (λ [power/length/temperature]) of the pipe, fluid mean velocity (V), and the temperature difference (ΔT) between the pipe wall and the surroundings. Use dimensional analysis to express this system in terms of dimensionless numbers. The...

A plane wall has thickness of 5 cm, thermal conductivity of 2 W/mK and generates heat. The left face of the wall (x=0) has a surface temp. of 80C and has air at 20C flowing past it with a heat transfer coefficient of 50 W/m^2K. If the right face is insulated then the temperature distribution through the wall has a general format T(x)=A+B*x+C*x^2 (a) Draw a properly labeled diagram (including a representative temperature distribution), state all assumptions and calculate the...
