Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a material with a heating element generating 5W per cubic meter. If the material has a density of 1000kg/mΒ³ and specific heat of 4.18 kJ/kgΒ°C, calculate the rate of temperature rise in a cubic meter of this material assuming no heat loss.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Convert thermal properties to consistent units to simplify calculations.

Question 2

A thermal insulation material has low thermal conductivity and high thermal diffusivity. Discuss how this affects heating time and energy efficiency in a building.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about the trade-offs in energy efficiency versus comfort.
