1. Consider a 2-m-high and 0.7-m-wide bronze plate whose thickness is 2. A thick-walled copper cylinder has an inside radius of 1 cm & an out-
0.1 m. One side of the plate is maintained at a constant temperature of side radius of 2 cm. The inner and outer surface are held at 310 oC &
600 K while the other side is maintained at 400 K. The thermal 290 oC respectively. Assume k varies with temperature as K (w/mk) =
conductivity of the bronze plate can be assumed to vary linearly in that 0.11 (0.5 + 1.5 x 10-2+ 3 x 10-4). Determine the heat loss per unit length.

one-dimensional heat transfer, determine the rate of heat conduction
through the plate.
