ASSIGNMENT 1 (BTECH MECH 1, HEAT TRANSFER)

1. What are Ti, Tj, and Tr in the wall shown in Fig. 1. below?

Fig. 1

2. One large, black wall at 27 oC faces another whose surface is 127 oC. The gap between the two
walls is evacuated. If the second wall is 0.1 m thick and has a thermal conductivity of 17.5
W/m.K, what is its temperature on the back side? (Assume steady state)

3. A 0.150 W light bulb is roughly a 0.006 m diameter sphere. Its steady surface temperature in
room air is 90 oC, and h on the outside is 7 W/m .K. What fraction of the heat transfer from the
2

bulb is by radiation directly from the filament through the glass? (State any additional
assumptions.)
