Question: The plane wall in Figure 3 is constructed from two materials with thermal conductivities k A and k B and thicknesses L 4 and L

The plane wall in Figure 3 is constructed from two materials with thermal conductivities kA and kB and thicknesses L4 and L8 respectively. The left side of Material A is maintained at a temperature TS while Material B is next to a fluid at a temperature T with a convective heat transfer coefficient h. The wall area is given b, A.) Assume an idealized smooth interface between Material A and Material B such that there is no contact resistance.
(a) Draw the equivalent resistance circuit, label the nodes and equivalent resistances (15 points).
(b) Find the algebraic expression denoting the heat transfer rate, q, through the wall in terms of given symbolic parameters (15 points).
(c) Using the solution from part (b) Calculate the heat transfer rate through the wall if kA=0.06WmK,kB=0.04Wm K,LA=12mm,LB=14mm,T=20C,TS=187C,h=13Wm2*K,A=1m2* Convert all temperatures to Kelvin and all dimensions including thicknesses to meters. Show detailed calculations (10 points).
