Problem 2(30 points)
A thin electrical heater that dissipates 2 kW of thermal energy is position between two plane walls. The thickness of each wall is shown in the figure below. The thermal conductivities of sections A and B are 3WmC and 0.8WmC respectively. The electrical heater is assumed to be highly conductive (k=200WmC). The exterior surface of each wall experiences convective conditions as summarized below.
(a) Construct the thermal circuit representing the steady state heat transfer for the system. Label all nodes, resistances and relevant terms.
(b) Determine the temperate of the electrical heater.
