The composite wall of an oven consists of three materials, two of which are of known thermal conductivity, kA = 25 W/m ⋅ K and kC = 60 W/m ⋅ K, and known thickness, LA = 0.40 m and LC = 0.20 m. The third material, B, which is sandwiched between materials A and C, is of known thickness, LB = 0.20 m, but unknown thermal conductivity kB. Under steady-state operating conditions, measurementsreveal an outer surface temperature of Ts, o =20ºC, an inner surface temperature of Ts, i= 600ºC, and an oven air temperature ofT¥=800ºC. The inside convection coefficienth is known to be 25 W/(m^2•K). What isthe value of kB?

Acommercial grade cubical freezer, 4 m on a side, has a composite wall consisting of an exterior sheet of 5.0-mm thick plain carbon steel (kst= 60.5 w/m k), an intermediate layer of 100-mm thick polyurethane insulation (kins 0.02 w/m k), and an inner sheet of 5.0- mm thick aluminium alloy (kal polyurethane insulation and both metallic sheets are each characterized by a thermal contact resistance of r 2.5 x 104 m2 k/w. (a) what is the steady-state cooling load that must be maintained by the refrigerator under conditions for which the outer and inner surface temperatures are 25°c and -5°c, respectively? (b) for power saving purpose, which wall material should be increased/reduced in. thickness in order to reduce 50% of the cooling load found in part (a)? redesign the thickness of the proposed material. 177 w/m-k). adhesive interfaces between the q=575.93 w
