Simple Heat Transfer Question
Simple Heat Transfer Question
(OP)
This should be real easy, but I am reading my old heat transfer book and I can't figure it out.
I know the temp of one side of a steel plate. What is the equation to find out the temp of the other side of the steel plate, and then temperatures at given distances away from the plate. I know the temp of the air on the side of the plate in question. The air is not moving.
If someone could help me out here I'd appreciate it.

Are you trying to find the temperature of the other surface after some time, as in unsteady state heat transfer ? If this the case, use the Gurney-Lurie diagram for heating and cooling of a large slab.
