Describe the basic laws of heat transfer which govern the heat
1 (a) transfer. Show conduction, convection and radiation with electrical 10 CO1 1,2
analogy.
(I). What is Fourier’s law for heat conduction? Give the
expression and plot for temperature vs distance in one 05 CO1 1,2
dimensional steady state heat transfer.
(b) (II). The inner surface of a plane brick wall is at 60°C and the outer
surface is at 35°C. Calculate the rate of transfer per m2 of
05 CO2 1,2,3
surface area of the wall which is 220 mm thick. The thermal
conductivity of the brick is 0.51 W/m°C.
What is contact resistance in conduction? Explain it. Show it with
2 (a) 10 CO1 1,2
electrical analogy.
The variation of thermal conductivity of a wall material is given by
k=k0(1+ αt + βt2) where, α and β are constant. If the thickness of the
wall is L and its internal and external surfaces are maintained at
temperatures t1 and t2 respectively where t1 is higher temperature
than t2. Then
