including a contact resistance of 0.1 K/W at each of the interfaces. but assume that instead of surface temperatures, the given temperatures are those of air on the left and right sides of the wall and that the convective heat transfer coefficients on the left and right surfaces are 6 and 10 W/(m2K), respectively.
GIVEN

• Air temperatures
? Left side (TA?) = 200°C
? Right side (TD?) = 50°C
• Contact resistance at each interface (Ri) = 0.1 K/W
• Convective heat transfer coefficients
? Left side ( cA h ) = 6 W/(m2 K)
? Right side ( cD h ) = 10 W/(m2 K)

SKETCH
One of the most efficient engines built so far has the following characteristics: combustion chamber temperature = 1900°C; exhaust temperature = 430°C. 7.0 × 109 cal of fuel produces 1.4 × 1010 J of work in one hour
