Assumption:

  1. Steady-state condition
  2. One-dimensional conduction through a single slab

Problem:

The diameter and bore of a four stroke IC engine cylinder are 0.12 m. Thickness of the cylinder = 10 mm. Average gas temperature is 1100 K during the power stroke. Atmospheric air temperature is 305 K. Thermal conductivity of gas, K = 0.06 W/mk. Dynamic viscosity of gas, μ = 20 × 10−6 Ns/m2 Mass flow rate of gas ...
