4-1 Consider a slab of thickness 10 cm. One surface is kept at 20°C and the other at 100°C. Determine the heat
flow rate across the slab if the slab is made of pure copper [k = 387 W/(m * °C)], pure aluminum [A = 202 W/(m
* °C)], and pure iron [k = 62 W/(m * °C)]. Answer: 33,80 kW.
4-2 A brick wall [k = 0.69 W/(m * °C)] 5 cm thick is exposed to cool air at 10°C with a heat transfer coefficient of
10 W/(m2 * °C) at one of its surfaces, while the other surface is kept at 70°C. What is the temperature of the
surface that is exposed to cool air? Answer: 44,9°C.
4-3 Consider a furnace wall [k = 1 W/(m * °C)] with the inside surface at 1000°C and the outside surface at
400°C. If the heat flow through the wall should not exceed 2000 W/m2, what is the minimum wall thickness L?
Answer: 30 cm.
4-4 Consider a plane wall 25cm thick. The inner surface is kept at 400°C, and the outer surface is exposed to
an environment at 800°C .with a heat transfer coefficient of 10 W/(m * °C). If the temperature of the outer surface
is 685°C, calculate the thermal conductivity of the wall. What might the material be? Answers 1,01 W/(m * °C),
