The average heat transfer coefficient on a thin hot vertical plate suspended in still air can be determined from observations of the change in plate temperature with time as it cools. Assume the plate temp to be uniform at any instant of time and radiation heat exchange with the surroundings is negligible. The ambient temperature is $${25^ \circ }C,$$ the plate has a total surface area of $$0.1{m^2}$$ and a mass of $$4$$ kg.

The specific heat of the plate material is $$2.5KJ/KgK.$$ The convective heat transfer coefficient in $$W/{m^2}K,$$ at instant when the plate temp is $${225^ \circ }C$$ and the change in plate temp with time $$dT/dt=-0.02K/s,$$ is

Building has to be maintained at $${21^ \circ }C$$ (dry bulb) and $${14.5^ \circ }C$$ (wet bulb). The dew point temp under these conditions is $${10.17^0}C$$. The outside temp is $$ - {23^0}C$$ (dry bulb) and internal and external surface heat transfer coefficients are $$8\,\,W/{m^2}K$$ and $$23$$ $$W/{m^2}K$$ respectively. If the building wall has a thermal conductivity of $$1.2$$ $$W/mK,$$ the minimum thickness (m) of wall required to prevent condensation is

Consider steady one-dimensional heat flow in a plate of $$20mm$$ thickness with a uniform heat generation of $$80MW/{m^3}.$$ The left and right faces are kept at constant temperatures of $${160^0}C$$ and $${120^0}C$$ respectively. The plate has a constant thermal conductivity of $$200W/mK.$$

The minimum temp within the plate in degree $$C$$ is
