Problem #11 (10 mins) A concrete slab is 13.5 cm thick and has an area of 5.00 m2. Electric heating coils are installed under the slab to melt the ice on the surface in the winter months. What minimum power must be supplied to the coils to maintain a temperature difference of 22.5°C between the bottom of the slab and its surface? Assume all the energy transferred is through the slab, and the thermal conductivity of the concrete is 1.3...

Consider a 34 cm thick concrete wall with a thermal conductivity of 0.82 W/m·K. The temperature of the left surface is held constant at 42°C, whereas the right face is exposed to a flow of 12°C air with a convection heat transfer coefficient of 23 W/m2·K. Neglecting heat transfer by radiation, find the right wall surface temperature and the heat flux through the wall.

-A wall 20 cm thick is to be constructed from material that has an average thermal conductivity of 2 W/m C. The wall is to be insulated with 5cm material having an average thermal conductivity of 0.5W/m C. Assuming that the inner and outer surface temperatures of the insulated wall are 200 and 20°C, calculate the heat transfer per unit area and the intermediate Temperature between the insulation and the wall.
