Some stove tops are smooth ceramic for easy cleaning. If the ceramic is 0.630 cm thick and heat conduction occurs through an area of 1.45 ✕ 10−2 m2 at a rate of 500 J/s, what is the temperature difference across it (in °C)? Ceramic has the same thermal conductivity as glass and concrete brick.

Answer:

The temperature difference [tex]\Delta T = 258.6 \ ^ o\ C[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  thickness is [tex]\Delta x = 0.630 cm = 0.0063 m[/tex]

    The  area is  [tex]A = 1.45 *10^{-2 } \ m^2[/tex]

     The rate is  [tex]P = 500 J/s[/tex]

       The  thermal conductivity is  [tex]\sigma = 0.84J[\cdot s \cdot m \cdot ^oC ][/tex]

Generally the rate heat conduction mathematically represented as

       [tex]P = \sigma * A * \frac{\Delta T}{\Delta x }[/tex]

=>    [tex]\Delta T = \frac{P * \Delta x }{\sigma * A }[/tex]

=>     [tex]\Delta T = \frac{ 500 * 0.00630 }{ 0.84 * 1.45 *10^{-2} }[/tex]

=>    [tex]\Delta T = 258.6 \ ^ o\ C[/tex]
