maintained at 1000C. How much heat is transferred through the plate? Take thermal
conductivity for copper is 370W/m0C at 2500C.

transfer per unit area.
5. Drive the relationship for the heat transfer from the fin insulated at tip.
6. Discuss the concept of thermal boundary layer used in convection heat transfer.

SECTION C
7. A plane wall is constructed of a material having a thermal conductivity that varies as the
2
square of the temperature according to the relation k = k0(1 + T ). Derive an expression for
the heat transfer in such a wall.
