- A heat conducting rod, 0.90 m long, is made of an aluminum section that is 0.10 m long, and an unknown material section that is 0.80 m long. Both sections have the same cross-sectional area. The aluminum end (rod 2) is maintained at a temperature of 50°C and the unknown material end (rod 1) is at 150°CTThe thermal conductivity of aluminum is 205 W/m-K and the junction temperature is 65°C. Steady state has been reached, and no heat is lost through the well-insulated sides of the rod. Find the thermal conductivity (k) of the unknown material.

Assume the liquid and water mix uniformly as the ice melts and determine the final temperature of the mixture (in °C). 375.31 X Since the mixture is thermally isolated, the heat gained by the ice and the associated ice water is equal to the heat lost by the liquid. Write expressions for the heat gained by the ice as it changes from a solid to a liquid, gained by the ice water as it warms to the final temperature, and lost by the liquid as it cools to the final temperature. °C (b) What If?

As an engineer, you estimated the total heat absorbed by a 4 m collector panel during a 13-hr period as h =122.39 W. The panel has an absorption efficiency eab of 45%.

A standard constant-temperature bath with electric heating and thermostatic control is not suitable in developing nations without continuously operating electric power lines. Peace Corps volunteer and MIT engineer Amy Smith invented a low-cost, lowmaintenance incubator to fill the need. The device consists of a foam-insulated box containing several packets of a waxy material that melts at 37.0°C, interspersed among tubes, dishes, or bottles containing the test samples and growth medium (food for bacteria). Outside the box, the waxy material is first melted by a stove or solar energy collector. Then it is put into the box to keep the test samples warm as it solidifies. The heat of fusion of the phase-change material is 205 kJ/kg. Model the insulation as a panel with surface area 0.490 m2, thickness 9.50 cm, and conductivity 0.012 0 W/m°C.
