Question:
Consider a plane composite wall that is composed of two materials of thermal conductivities \(k_{\mathrm{A}}=0.09 \mathrm{~W} / \mathrm{m} \cdot \mathrm{K}\) and \(k_{\mathrm{B}}=0.03 \mathrm{~W} / \mathrm{m} \cdot \mathrm{K}\) and thicknesses \(L_{\mathrm{A}}=8 \mathrm{~mm}\) and \(L_{\mathrm{B}}=16 \mathrm{~mm}\). The contact resistance at the interface between the two materials is known to be \(0.30 \mathrm{~m}^{2} \cdot \mathrm{K} / \mathrm{W}\). Material A adjoins a fluid at \(200^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) for which \(h=10 \mathrm{~W} / \mathrm{m}^{2} \cdot \mathrm{K}\), and material B adjoins a fluid at \(40^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) for which \(h=20 \mathrm{~W} / \mathrm{m}^{2} \cdot \mathrm{K}\).
(a) What is the rate of heat transfer through a wall that is \(2 \mathrm{~m}\) high by \(2.5 \mathrm{~m}\) wide?
(b) Sketch the temperature distribution.
