A spherical thermocouple (radius of 3 mm, thermal conductivity of 20 W/mK, specific heat of 400 J/KgK, density of 8500 kg/m3) with initial temperature 20°C is suddenly exposed to air at 90°C (h = 200 W/m²·K). The Biot number is:

A metal pipe with internal diameter of 1 cm is 2 m long and is electrically heated to increase water temperature from 20°C to 40°C before a shower faucet. For a typical shower water mass flow rate of 0.06 kg/s (about 1 gpm), what is the required heat flux that needs to be imposed on the pipe to heat the water? The specific heat of water is 4200 J/kg°C.

Calculate the total heat transfer through a composite wall consisting of two layers (k₁ = 20 W/m·K, thickness₁ = 0.02 m; k₂ = 40 W/m·K, thickness₂ = 0.04 m) with a temperature difference of 20°C across it per unit area.
