    maintained at 403 K while outer surface is at 303 K. rate of heat conduction is 10 W in steady state. Find
    the thermal conductivity of material. Find temperature at radius of 4 cm.

    Q-2 Heat is conducted through a tapered rod of rectangular cross section. Large end has cross area of 10 cm2

    conduction along length (L=0.3m) of tapered rod.

    Q-3 The Furnace wall is made up of MS (k=12 W/m-K) plate of thickness 12 mm. Inside gas temperature is
    at 1173 K while outside air is at 303 K. The inside and outside heat transfer coefficients are 100 W/m2-
    K and 20 W/m2-K respectively. The wall is insulated using layer of bricks (k=1.2 W/m-K). determine
    the thickness of insulation required so that outer surface of insulation will be at 353 K.

    Q-4 An electric conductor of 10 mm diameter, insulated by PVC (k=0.18 W/m-K) is located in air at 303 K
    having convective heat transfer coefficient of 7.8 W/m2-K. Surface temperature of base conductor is
    required to maintain at 358 K. Find optimum thickness of insulation for maximum current transfer from
    conductor. Find percentage change in heat transfer rate due to optimum thickness of insulation. Perform
    all calculation based on unit length of conductor.

    of aspirate is 5 mm. If the spaces are filled with atmospheric air with k=0.02 W/m-K. Determine the total
    thermal resistance assuming 50% solid to solid contact. Draw thermal circuit. Find heat transfer if
    temperature difference of 70 K is maintained.
