Slutn t the Heat Equatn fr a Plane Wall wth Symmetrcal Cnvectn Cndtns If the lumped capactance apprxmatn can nt be made, cnsderatn must be gven t spatal, as well as tempral, varatns n temperature durng the transent prcess. Fr a plane wall wth symmetrcal cnvectn cndtns and cnstant prpertes, the heat equatn and ntal/bundary cndtns are: 2T 1 T = x2 α t T x,0 T T x x= 0 (5.26) = (5.27) = 0 T k = h T( L, t) T x x= L Exstence f seven ndependent varables: T T x,, t T, T, k, α, h (5.28) (5.29) = (5.30) Hw may the functnal dependence be smplfed?

Bth requrements are met. Is the assumptn f a sem-nfnte sld fr a plane wall f fnte thckness apprprate under the fregng cndtns? COMMENTS: The fregng analyss may r may nt be cnservatve, snce heat transfer at the rradated surface due t cnvectn and net radatn exchange wth the envrnment has been neglected. If the emssvty f the surface and the temperature f the surrundngs are assumed t be ε = 1 and T sur = 298K, radatn exchange at T s = 309.5 C wuld be 4 4 2 q = εσ T T = 6,080 W/m K, rad s sur whch s sgnfcant (~ 60% f the prescrbed radatn). Hwever, under actual cndtns, the wall wuld lkely be expsed t cmbustn gases and adjnng walls at elevated temperatures.
