• Calculate the rate of heat loss for a red brick wall of length 5m,height 4m and thickness 0.25m.The
temperature of the inner surface is 110°C and that of the outer surface is 40°C. The thermal
conductivity of redbrick K=0.70W/mK. Calculate also the temperature at an interior point of the wall,
20cm distant from the inner wall.
Given
l=5m,h=4m, L=0.25m,x=20cm
Solution
Q=kA/L [T1-T2]
Q= 0.70 [5*4] [110-40]/ 0.25
Q=3.92kW
T=(40-110)0.20/0.25+110
T=54°C
• A stainless steel plate 2cm thick is maintained at a temperature of 550°C at one
face and 50°C on the other. The thermal conductivity of stainless steel at 300°C
is 19.1W/mK. Compute the heat transferred through the material per unit area.
• Q=kA/L [T1-T2]
• Q/A=q=k/L(T1-T2)=(19.1)(550-50)/ 0.02
• = 477.5kW/m2

= Ta-Tb /ΣR
ΣR = 1/haA+L1/Ak1+L2/Ak2+L3/Ak3+1/hbA
ΣR =1/A[1/ha+L1/k1+L2/k2+L3/k3+1/hb]
Ta=T1, Tb=T4
T = 281 K or 8.26°C
