Q.1 One face of a stainless-steel plate 10 cm thick is maintained at 110°C, and the other face is at 90°C.

Assuming steady-state conditions, calculate the rate of heat transfer per unit area through the plate.
The thermal conductivity of stainless steel is 18 W/(m °C).

Q.2 Calculate the rate of heat energy emitted by 100 metre square of a polished iron surface (emissivity
= 0.07). The temperature of the surface is 37°C.

Q.3 One face of a stainless-steel plate 1 cm thick is maintained at 120°C, and the other face is at 90°C.
A) Calculate the rate of heat transfer using thermal resistance concept. B) Determine the temperature at
.6 cm from the 110°C temperature face.

Q4. A 2 cm thick steel pipe (thermal conductivity = 34 W/[m °C]) with 6 cm inside diameter is being used

the pipe is 2 m long.

the same, calculate the new convective heat-transfer coeffi cient.

= 53 W/[m °C]). The outside ambient temperature is 20°C. The outside convective heat-transfer coeffi
cient is 100 W/(m 2 °C). Calculate the overall heat transfer coeffi cient and the heat loss from 1 m length
of the pipe.

configuration.
