heat conduction and
prediction of thermal
conductivities for gases and
liquids.
Chapter9: Shell heat
balance, forced and free
convection.
Chapter 10: The equation of
change for non-isothermal
systems, transpiration
cooling, dimensional
analysis of the equation of
change for non-isothermal
systems.

4. A Copper plug is installed in an insulated wall. The shape of the
plug is shown below and is in the form of truncated cone. The
temperature T1 is 70 0 F and T2 is 1400F. Find the heat flux. The
thermal conductivity of copper is 232 B.T.U./hr-ft-0F.
