Information:
Introduction to Heat Transfer introduces fundamental processes
of heat transfer. Fourier's law. Heat conduction processes
including thermal resistance, lumped capacitance, fins, and the
heat equation. Elementary convection, including laminar and
turbulent boundary layers, internal flow, and natural convection.
Thermal radiation, including Stefan-Boltzmann law, small object in
large enclosure, and parallel plates. Basic concepts of heat
exchangers.

Pset 6, problem 2b
Hi everyone,In problem 2b, you need to have Area or W in your solution even though it is not among the listed variables in the question.
Good luck,

Clarification in Pset 6, problem 4
Note that external power (for example, in the form of electrical current) is provided to the slanted plate in order to maintain the imposed (given) temperature T_2; we ask you to calculate this power in Part (g). In contrast, no external power is provided to the vertical plate --- we ask you to find in Part (e) the temperature T_3 at which the vertical plate is in equilibrium in the sense that there no net radiation heat transfer to (or from) the vertical plate.Announced on 11 December 2017 5:52 p.m. by Shabnam Raayai
Clarification in Pset 6 - Problem 1
Hi everyone,Just to clarify a point in pset 6, problem 1, you shouldn't use a "radiation heat transfer coefficient" but you will need to use a "convection heat transfer coefficient" between the water and the passing air.
Best,
