Question: Reconsider Problem. Using the EES (or other) software, investigate the effect of the plate thermal conductivity on the surface temperature exposed to the cold water. By varying the plate thermal conductivity from 3 to 200 W/m·K, plot the plate surface temperature on the cold water side as a function of the plate thermal conductivity.
Problem: A 0.2-m-long and 25-mm-thick vertical plate (k = 15 W/m·K) separates the hot water from the cold water. The plate surface exposed to the hot water has a temperature of 100°C, and the temperature of the cold water is 7°C. Determine the temperature of the plate surface exposed to the cold water (Ts,c).
