Lesson 1b Solution To Example Problems

1. The document provides 4 example heat transfer problems with solutions. 2. The first problem calculates the surface temperature on one side of a plane wall given the surface temperature on the other side and the heat transmitted. 3. The second problem calculates the heat transmitted across a furnace wall given the temperature difference and the wall's thickness and thermal conductivity. 4. The third problem calculates the minimum thickness of insulating material needed to assure a heat constraint given the surface temperatures and thermal conductivities of the composite wall. 5. The fourth problem calculates the temperatures between layers in a multi-layer wall and the total heat loss, given the surface temperatures and thermal conductivities of each material.
