Chapter 16 Problem 60P

Question

Problem 60P

A block has the dimensions L, 21, and 3L. When one of the L × 2L faces is maintained at the temperature T 1 and the other L × 2L face is held at the temperature T 2, the rate of heat conduction through the block is P. Answer the following questions in terms of P. (a) What is the rate of heat conduction in this block if one of the L × 3L faces is held at the temperature T 1 and the other L × 3L face is held at the temperature T 2? (b) What is the rate of heat conduction in this block if one of the 2L × 3L faces is held at the temperature T 1 and the other 2L × 3L face is held at the temperature T 2?

Solution

Step 1 of 3

We need to find the rate of heat conduction in terms of $$P$$ between the two            $$L\times 2L$$ faces and two $$ 2L\times 3L$$ faces. The temperature difference between both the two faces are given as $$T_2-T_1=\Delta T$$

Given,

The rate of heat flow between two $$L\times 2L$$ which is held at a temperature difference of $$\Delta P$$ is given as $$P$$,

$$\frac{Q}{t}=P=kA\frac{\Delta T}{L}$$
