Thanks IRStuff,
I now see what you are saying and why. I appreciate the longer post.
Yes, I am trying to take a transitory phenomenon and apply steady state equations to simplify the situation. I was hoping to take advantage of the conservation of energy to look at the system after a long...
IRstuff,
You have raised an important point which I would like to address first. I hereby swear and affirm that my post was not for school, nor am I a student. I am a working professional, and the topic I am asking about is ultimately work-related. The question I have posed is simplified and...
I have some questions about applying thermal conductivity equations to a physical system in order to calculate expected temperatures. In brief, I'd like to be able to determine the temperature of something under an insulating layer. I've made up a somewhat contrived scenario below, but it has...
