The wall separating a Bakery Oven and its environment is of height, \(10 m\); breadth, \(10 m\); and Thickness, \(25 cm\). If the rate of heat exchange between the Oven and its environment is 1000 watt and the temperature of the environment is \(27^{\circ} C\), calculate the temperature of the Oven, given that the Coefficient of thermal conductivity of the wall is \(0.054 Wm ^{-1} K ^{-1}\).
A. \(27.3^{\circ} C\) B. \(-40.2^{\circ} C\) C. \(40.2^{\circ} C\) D. \(73.3^{\circ} C\)
Correct Answer: D
Explanation
Given: height \(=10 cm\), breadth \(=10 cm\) thickness \(L=25 cm =0.25 m\) rate of heat exchange \(q=1000 W\) \(T_{2}=27^{\circ} C , T_{1}=?\) coefficient of thermal conductivity \(k=0.0541 Wm ^{-1} k ^{-1}\) correlating equation - One dimensional conduction heat equation (Fourier law) i.e. $$ \begin{aligned} &q=\frac{K A(\Delta T)}{L}=\frac{K A\left(T_{\text {hot }}-T_{\text {cool }}\right)}{L} \\ &\frac{Q L}{K A}=T_{1}-T_{2} \\ &\frac{1000 \times 0.25}{0.0541 \times 10 \times 10}=T_{\text {hot }}-T_{\text {cool }} \\ &46.21=T_{1}-T_{2} \\ &T_{1}=46.21+27=73.3^{\circ} C \end{aligned} $$
