Assignment # 1

Due at start of class on Thursday February 18, 2021

Q#1: Select a suitable material from the thermal conductivity (k) table in order to
prevent the heat losses, and determine the rate of heat loss through the slab.
Assume steady state, 1D problem (10 points)
Given data
W = 21.5 x Roll # (mm), H = 32.6 x Roll # (mm), L = 12 x Roll # (mm)
T1 = 245. 2 x Roll # (°C), T2 = 125 x Roll # (°C)

Q#2: from Q1 By using Matlab or Excel, Plot the temperature distribution graph
between Temperatures T1 and T2 at least 10 points (Temperature (°C) vs thickness
of slab (mm or m))
Note: Print Q2 graph and Matlab/Excel code on paper and it has to be submitted
through email as well (only Q2).
