Question: B 2 . [ 2 5 marks overall ] A square composite wall ( ( 2 0 mathrm { ~cm } )

B2.[25 marks overall] A square composite wall \((20\mathrm{~cm}\) by 20 cm\()\) is insulated on five sides as shown in Fig B2(note that the front and back are also insulated). A very thin square heater (negligible thickness) is sandwiched between the copper and alumina sections. The heater delivers 500 W of heat uniformly across its cross-section. Both convection and radiation heat transfer occurs on the open face of the wall. The surface temperature of the open wall is \(55^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\) at steady-state. Use the information given on the diagram to determine:
a)[10 Marks] The temperature of the thin heater \(\left(T_{2}\right)\).
b)[5 Marks] The temperature at the copper-insulation interface (\( T_{1}\)).
c)[10 Marks] The convective heat transfer coefficient, \( h \) : Fig. B2: Composite wall
