A composite slab consists of a 5 cm thick layer of steel (k = 146 kJ/...
Let t
i be the temperature at the interface.
Under stipulation for heat dissipation from
both sides,
ti >t1>t2
Accordingly we may write
Considering unit surface area
= 4.2 X 105
Or 2920 (ti - 100) + 4600 (ti - 50)
= 4.2 X 105
or 7520 ti = 4.2 X 105+ 2.92 X 105 + 2.3 X 105
= 9.42 X 105

A composite slab consists of a 5 cm thick layer of steel (k = 146 kJ/...
To calculate the heat flow rate through the steel slab, we can use Fourier's law of heat conduction:
q = (k * A * (T2 - T1)) / d
Where:
q = heat flow rate (in kJ/m2-hr)
k = thermal conductivity (in kJ/m-hr-°C)
A = surface area (in m2)
T2 = temperature on the right side (in °C)
T1 = temperature on the left side (in °C)
d = thickness of the slab (in m)
For the steel slab:
k = 146 kJ/m-hr-°C
A = 1 m2 (assuming a unit area)
T2 = 50°C
T1 = 100°C
d = 5 cm = 0.05 m
Plugging in these values, we have:
q_steel = (146 * 1 * (50 - 100)) / 0.05 = -146000 kJ/m2-hr
Since heat always flows from higher temperature to lower temperature, the negative sign indicates that heat is flowing in the opposite direction (from brass to steel). Therefore, the heat flow rate through the steel slab is 146000 kJ/m2-hr.
For the brass slab:
k = 276 kJ/m-hr-°C
A = 1 m2 (assuming a unit area)
T2 = 50°C
T1 = 100°C
d = 6 cm = 0.06 m
Plugging in these values, we have:
q_brass = (276 * 1 * (100 - 50)) / 0.06 = 460000 kJ/m2-hr
Therefore, the heat flow rate through the brass slab is 460000 kJ/m2-hr.
In MJ/m2-hr, the heat flow rates through the steel and brass slabs are:
q_steel = 146000 / 1000 = 146 MJ/m2-hr
q_brass = 460000 / 1000 = 460 MJ/m2-hr
So, the heat flow rate through the steel slab is 146 MJ/m2-hr and the heat flow rate through the brass slab is 460 MJ/m2-hr.
