The ears of a rabbit can be thought of as two rectangular fins that dissipate heat. The dimensions are 0.1 cm thickness, 3 cm width, and 7 cm length. The average body temperature of a rabbit is 38°C. Assume this to be the temperature of the base of the head where the ears are located. The top of the head can be assumed to be a surface with area 42 cm², neglecting the area (including the base) of the ears. Assume an adiabatic tip condition for the ears. Also, neglect radiation. The thermal conductivity of the rabbit's skin is 3 W/m.°C. The convection coefficient and temperature of the air are 8 W/m².°c and 10°C, respectively. With this in mind, find the total heat transfer from the top of the rabbit's head including the ears. 1315 W

A spherical communications satellite, 2 m in diameter, is placed in orbit around the earth. The satellite generates 1000 W of internal power from a small nuclear generator.

It is designed in such a way that the internal temperature of a commercial heat treatment furnace can reach up to 165 oC. All surfaces of the furnace consist of firebrick (10 cm), insulation material and sheet metal (3mm) from the inside out. Given that the outdoor temperature is 22 oC, the outer sheet will be allowed to go up to 35 oC, which is a temperature that will not disturb in contact with hands. In this case, determine the insulation material thickness to be used. The thermal conductivity coefficient of the insulation material is insulation 0.066 W / m oC, 60 W / m oC for sheet metal and 115 W / m oC for firebrick. Indoor heat transfer coefficient will be accepted as 25 W / m2 oC and 12 W / m2 oC for outdoor environment.
