UNIT-I

Qu.1a) Derive the general heat conduction equation in Cartesian co-ordinates. under
what condition does this get reduced to Poisson equation; Laplace equation
and Fourier equation. 10 marks

b) Two slabs each 120mm thick, have thermal conductivities of 14.5 W/moC and
210 W/moC. These are placed in contact but due to roughness only 30 % of the area is in contact and the gap in the remaining area is 0.025mm thick and is filled with air. If the temperature of the face of the hot surface is at 220oC and the outside surface of the other slab is at 30oc. Determine
