Lumped heat transfer analysis of a solid object suddenly exposed to a fluid medium at a different temp is valid when.

A composite wall, having unit length normal to the plane of paper, is insulated at the top and bottom as shown in the figure. It is comprised of four different materials $$A, B, C$$ and $$D.$$
Dimensions are $$$\eqalign{ & {H_A} = {H_D} = 3cm, \cr & {H_B} = {H_C} = 1.5cm, \cr & {L_1} = {L_3} = 0.05m,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{L_2} = 0.1m \cr} $$$

Thermal conductivity of the materials are $$$\eqalign{ & {K_A} = {K_D} = 50\,\,\,W/mK, \cr & {K_B} = 10\,\,W/mK,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{K_C} = 1\,\,W/mK \cr} $$$
The fluid temps and $$HTC$$(see fig) are $$$\eqalign{ & {T_1} = {200^ \circ }C,\,\,\,\,{h_1} = 50\,\,W/{m^2}K, \cr & T{}_2 = {25^ \circ }C,\,\,\,\,{h_2} = 10\,\,W/{m^2}K, \cr} $$$

Assuming one dimensional heat transfer condition. Determine the rate of heat transfer through the wall.

In descending order of magnitude, the thermal conductivity of $$(a)$$ Pure iron, $$(b)$$ liquid water, $$(c)$$ saturated water vapour, and $$(d)$$ aluminum can be arranged as

Production flow analysis $$(PFA)$$ is a method of identifying part families that uses data from
