SOLUTION
Exercise 1 [8 marks]
PART A/ Knowledge of the course
1. Defines: The insulators with extremely low apparent thermal conductivity (about one thousand of that of Exercise 3: [5 marks
air), called superinsulators
2. List Methodology to Analyze Heat Transfer Problems:
STEP 1: Known: After carefully reading the problem, state briefly and concisely what is known about
the problem.
STEP 2 Find: State briefly and concisely what must be found.
STEP3: Schematic: Draw a schematic of the physical system.
STEP 4: Assumptions: List all pertinent simplifying assumptions.
STEP 5: Properties: Compile property values needed for subsequent calculations and identify
the source from which they are obtained.
STEP 6: Analysis: Begin your analysis by applying appropriate conservation laws, and introduce rate
equations as needed. Develop the analysis as completely as possible before substituting numerical values.
Perform the calculations needed to obtain the desired results.
3. What are the laws of heat transfer
-Fourier law of heat conduction,
-Newton’s law of cooling,
-Stefan Boltzmann law for thermal radiation,
4. How does heat conduction differ from convection?
Convection involves fluid motion, conduction does not. In a solid we can have only conduction.
5. Difference between thermodynamics and heat transfer.
 Thermodynamics tells us:
• how much heat is transferred (dQ)
• how much work is done (dW)
• final state of the system
 Heat transfer tells us:
• how (with what modes) dQ is transferred
• at what rate dQ is transferred
• temperature distribution inside the body

PART B
Analysis: Since heat transfer through the wall is by
conduction, the heat flux may be determined from Fourier’s
law. Using Equation, we have
