Question
Consider a 20 cm thick granite wall with a thermal conductivity of 2.79 W/m·K. The temperature of the left surface is held constant at 50°C, whereas the right face is exposed to a flow of 22°C air with a convection heat transfer coefficient of 15 W/m2·K. Neglecting heat transfer by radiation, find the right wall surface temperature and the heat flux through the wall.

Answer:
The right wall surface temperature and heat flux through the wall is 35.5°C and 202.3W/m²
Explanation:
Thickness of the wall is L= 20cm = 0.2m
Thermal conductivity of the wall is K = 2.79 W/m·K
Temperature at the left side surface is T₁ = 50°C
Temperature of the air is T = 22°C
Convection heat transfer coefficient is h = 15 W/m2·K
Heat conduction process through wall is equal to the heat convection process so
Expression for the heat conduction process is
Expression for the heat convection process is
Substitute the expressions of conduction and convection in equation above
Substitute the values in above equation
Now heat flux through the wall can be calculated as
Thus, the right wall surface temperature and heat flux through the wall is 35.5°C and 202.3W/m²
