Numerical 1

The inner surface of a plane brick wall is at 60˚C and the outer surface is at 35˚C. Calculate the
rate of Heat transfer per m2 of surface area of the wall, which is 220 mm thick. The Thermal
conductivity of the brick is 0.51 W/ m˚C.
Solution
Numerical 2
Find the Heat flow rate through the composite wall as shown in figure. Assume 1-D flow.
kA = 150 W/m˚C
kB = 30 W/m˚C
kC = 65 W/m˚C
kD = 50 W/m˚C

Numerical 3

A metal plate of 4mm thickness(k=95.5 W/m˚C) is exposed to vapour at 100˚C on one side and
cooling water at 25 ˚C on the opposite side. The heat transfer coefficients on vapour side and
water side are 145000 W/m2˚C and 2250 W/m2˚C respectively, Determine:

A) Rate of Heat Transfer.

B) Overall heat transfer coefficient.
