Question1

2-20 Starting with an energy balance on a rectangular volume element, derive the onedimensional transient heat conduction equation for a plane wall with constant thermal
conductivity and no heat generation.
Question2
2-55 Electrically heated draw batch furnaces are commonly used in the heat treatment
industry. Consider a draw batch furnace front made of a 20-mm thick steel plate with a
thermal conductivity of 25 W/m-K. The furnace is situated in a room with surrounding air
temperature of 20 C and an average convection heat transfer coefcient of l0 W/m2-K. If the
inside surface of the furnace front is subjected to uniform heat flux of 5 kW/m2 and the outer
surface has an emissivity of 0.30, determine the inside surface temperature of the furnace
front. Answer; 598 K
