This document contains the solutions to two heat transfer problems. For the first problem, involving an aluminum and copper rod welded together, the heat transfer rate from the hot end is calculated to be 1.18 W. For the second problem, involving heat loss through a window, the rate of heat loss is calculated to be 25 kW/s. The key steps and formulas used in each solution are shown.

Problem 1: An aluminium rod and a copper rod of equal length 2.0 m and
cross-sectional area 2 cm 2 are welded together in parallel. One end is kept
at a temperature of 10 °C and the other at 30 °C. Calculate the amount of
heat taken out per second from the hot end. (Thermal conductivity of
aluminium is 200 W ⁄ m °C and of copper is 390 W ⁄ m °C).
Solution:
Given:
Thermal conductivity of aluminum, K Al = 200 W ⁄ m °C
Thermal conductivity of aluminum, K Cu  = 390 W ⁄ m °C
Combined thermal conductivity for parallel combination, K = 200 W ⁄ m °C + 390
W ⁄ m °C = 590 W ⁄ m °C
Length of rod, d = 2 m
Area of rod, A = 2 cm2 = 2 × 10-4  m2
Temperature difference, Th – Tc = 30 °C – 10 °C = 20 °C
The formula for heat transfer rate is given as:
q = K A (Th – Tc) ⁄ d
= (590 × 2 × 10-4 × 20) ⁄ 2 W
= 1.18 W
Hence, the total amount of heat transfer is  1.18 W.

2. The air in a room is at 25° c and outside temperature is 0° c. The window of the room has an area of
2m2 and thickness 2mm. Calculate the rate of loss of heat by conduction through window ? Thermal
conductivity for glass is 1 Wm– 1degree– 1.

Sol: Rate of loss of heat is given by 


where Q is the quantity of heat that flows from hot area to cold area and is given by Q

Q =

=
 Rate of loss 

k is Thermal conductivity of glass = 1 Wm– 1deg– 1


A Area of the window = 2 m2

T1 Temperature in the room = 25° c

T2Temperature outside the room = 0° c

x is thickness of the window = 2mm = 2 × 10– 3

=
 

  = 25 × 103 w/s

  = 25 kw/s
