Assignment 1: Solution
Q. 1 The roof of an electrically heated home is 6 m long, 8 m wide and 0.25 m thick. It is
made of flat layer of concrete having thermal conductivity 0.8 W/m-K. The
temperatures of inner and outer surfaces of the roof are measured to be 15 °C and 4 °C,
respectively, for a period of 10 hrs. Determine total amount of heat loss to the home
during the specified period.
A. 1690 J B. 60.84X106 J
C. 16900 J D. 60.84 X103 J
Sol. At steady state convection between thermocouple and air must balance the net radiation
energy received by it from walls.

Therefore, ℎ𝐴𝑡𝑐 𝑇𝑡𝑐 − 𝑇𝑎𝑖𝑟 = 𝜀𝜎𝐴𝑡𝑐 (𝑇𝑤𝑎𝑙𝑙 − 𝑇𝑡𝑐4 )
75 𝑇𝑡𝑐 − 20 = 0.4 × 5.67 × 10−8 100 + 273 4 − (𝑇𝑡𝑐 + 273)4
Temperature of thermocouple, Ttc = 23.5 °C
Q. 5 Air (A), water (W), engine oil (E) and mercury (M) has Prandtl numbers at 30 °C as
0.71, 5.83, 6400 and 0.025, respectively. Show the correct order of following figures for
respective thermal and velocity boundary layers:
Q. 6 Evaluate the average heat transfer coefficient for a restricted parallel flow over a plate if
its local heat transfer can be written as 0.7 + 13.6𝑥 − 3.4𝑥 2 . The length of plate is 2 m.
A. 19.53 W/m2-K B. 14.3 W/m2-K

Sol. We know that, ℎ𝐿 = 𝐿 0 𝑥
ℎ 𝑑𝑥 = 2 0
0.7 + 13.6𝑥 − 3.4𝑥 2 𝑑𝑥 = 9.77 𝑊/𝑚2 𝐾
