//Exa 1.12 clc; clear; close // given data T1=100;// in degree C T2=10;// in degree C A=3*5;//in square meter x=40*10^-2;// thickness in m^2 k=1.6;// in W/mk h=10;// in W/m^2k // Total resistance in heat flow path sigmaR=x/(k*A)+1/(h*A); // so heat transfer rate q=(T1-T2)/sigmaR;// in Watt q=q*10^-3;//in kW disp(q,"Heat transfer rate in kW is :");// // Note: Answer in the book is wrong
