Consider a slab of thickness l in which energy is generated at a constant rate of go w/m^2. the surfaces of the slab are kept at a 2.7 fixed temperature t∞. does problem have both geometric and thermal symmetry? develop the mathematical formulation of this heat conduction problem by taking into account the symmetry condition at the center.

Along 8-cm diameter steam pipe whose external surface temperature is 900c connects two buildings. the pipe is exposed to ambient air at 70c with a wind speed of 50 km/hr blowing across the pipe. determine the heat loss from the pipe per unit length. (b) air at 500c enters a section of a rectangular duct (15 cm x 20 cm) at an average velocity of 7 m/s. if the walls of the duct are maintained at 100c. a) the length of the tube for an exit temperature of the air to be 40 0c. b)the rate of heat transfer from the air. c) the fan power needed to overcome the pressure drop in this section of the duct.
