1-4 The temperatures on the faces of a plane wall 15 cm thick are 375 and 85◦C.

The wall is
constructed of a special glass with the following properties: k = 0.78 W/m · ◦C, ρ = 2700 kg/m3,
CP = 0.84 kJ/kg · ◦C. What is the heat flow through the wall at steady-state conditions?

1-5 A certain superinsulation material having a thermal conductivity of 2 × 10−4 W/m · ◦C is used
to insulate a tank of liquid nitrogen that is maintained at −196◦C; 199 kJ is required to
vaporize each kilogram mass of nitrogen at this temperature. Assuming that the tank is a
sphere having an inner diameter (ID) of 0.52 m, estimate the amount of nitrogen vaporized per
day for an insulation thickness of 2.5 cm and an ambient temperature of 21◦C. Assume that the
outer temperature of the insulation is 21◦C.
