A heat exchanger wall consists of a copper plate 2 cm thick. The heat transfer coefficients on the two sides of the plate are 2700 and 7000 W/( m2 K), corresponding to fluid temperatures of 92 and 32°C, respectively. Assuming that the thermal conductivity of the wall is 375 W/ ( m K), (a) compute the surface temperatures in °C, and (b) calculate the heat flux in W/ m2.
