(10 tiles/sec) · (30 cm/tile) = 300 cm/sec

That's 3000 mm/sec

That's <em>3 x 10³ mm/sec </em>

Consider a 20 cm thick granite wall with a thermal conductivity of 2.79 W/m·K. The temperature of the left surface is held const

kozerog [31]

Answer:

The right wall surface temperature and heat flux through the wall is 35.5°C and 202.3W/m²

Explanation:

Thickness of the wall is L= 20cm = 0.2m

Thermal conductivity of the wall is K = 2.79 W/m·K

Temperature at the left side surface is T₁ = 50°C

Temperature of the air is T = 22°C

Convection heat transfer coefficient is h = 15 W/m2·K

Heat conduction process through wall is equal to the heat convection process so

$Q_{conduction} = Q_{convection}$

Expression for the heat conduction process is

$Q_{conduction} = \frac{K(T_1 - T)}{L}$

Expression for the heat convection process is

$Q_{convection} = h(T_2 - T)$

Substitute the expressions of conduction and convection in equation above

$Q_{conduction} = Q_{convection}$

$\frac{K(T_1 - T_2)}{L} = h(T_2 - T)$

Substitute the values in above equation

$\frac{2.79(50- T_2)}{0.2} = 15(T_2 - 22)\\\\T_2 = 35.5^\circC$

Now heat flux through the wall can be calculated as

$q_{flux} = Q_{conduction} \\\\q_{flux} = \frac{K(T_1 - T_2)}{L}\\\\q_{flux} = \frac{2.79(50 - 35.5)}{0.2}\\\\q_{flux} = 202.3W/m^2$

Thus, the right wall surface temperature and heat flux through the wall is 35.5°C and 202.3W/m²

(f) What do you mean by: (i) 1 J energy (ii) 1 W power

max2010maxim [7]

Explanation:

Watts are defined as 1 Watt = 1 Joule per second (1W = 1 J/s)

which means that 1 kW = 1000 J/s. A Watt is the amount of energy (in Joules) that an electrical device (such as a light) is burning per second that it's running.
