Solved Coal powder is held in a large container. The |
The effective thermal conductivity of the coal powder is k = W/mK. The heat transfer coefficient between the upper surface of the powder (at x = L) and the surrounding air is h= 5 W/m2K. The surrounding air is at Tamb = 20ºC. The temperature of the lower surface of the coal powder (at x = 0) is equal to the ground temperature, Tg = 22ºC ...
