Question

Develop a collection of functions to solve simple conduction problems using various forms of the formula H = kA(T_2 - T_1)/X where H is the rate of heat transfer in watts, k is the coefficient of thermal conductivity for the particular substance. A is the cross-sectional area in m2 (square meters), T2 and T1 are the kelvin temperatures on the two sides of the conductor, and X is the thickness of the conductor in meters. Define a function for each variable in the formula. For example, function calc_h would compute the rate of heat transfer. calc_k would figure the coefficient of thermal conductivity, calc_a would find the cross-sectional area, and so on. Develop a driver function that interacts with the user in the following way: Respond to the prompts with the data known. For the unknown quantity, enter a question mark (?). Rate of heat transfer (watts) >> 755.0Coefficient of thermal conductivity (W/m-K) >> 0.8Cross-s H = kA(T2 - T1)/x Temperature on the other side is 274 K.

Explanation / Answer

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
void cal_h();
void cal_k();
void cal_a();
int main(void)
{
   cal_h();
   cal_k();
   cal_a();

return 0;
}
void cal_h()
{
   int t1,t2;
   double k,a,x,h;
printf("Calculate the rate of rate transfer ?");
   printf(" Enter Temperature (T1 in kelvin)>>");
   scanf("%d",&t1);
   printf("Enter Temperature (T2 in kelvin)>>");
   scanf("%d",&t2);
   printf("Enter Coefficient of Thermal Conductivity >>");
   scanf("%lf",&k);
   printf("Enter Cross-sectional area >>");
   scanf("%lf",&a);
   printf("Enter Thickness of Conductor >>");
   scanf("%lf",&x);
h=(k*a*(t2-t2))/x;
   printf("The Rate of heat transfer is %.2f watts",h);  
  
}
void cal_k()
{
   int t1,t2;
   double k,a,x,h;
   printf("Calculate coefficient of Thermalconductivity ? ");
   printf("Enter rate of heat transfer >>");
   scanf("%lf",&h);
   printf(" Enter Temperature (T1 in kelvin)>>");
   scanf("%d",&t1);
   printf("Enter Temperature (T2 in kelvin)>>");
   scanf("%d",&t2);
   printf("Enter Cross-sectional area >>");
   scanf("%lf",&a);
   printf("Enter Thickness of Conductor >>");
   scanf("%lf",&x);
   k=(h*x)/(a*(t2-t1));
   printf("The coefficient of Thermalconductivity is %.2f ",k);
}
void cal_a()
{
   int t1,t2;
   double k,a,x,h;
printf("Calculate the cross-sectional area ? ");
  
printf("Enter rate of heat transfer >>");
   scanf("%lf",&h);
   printf(" Enter Temperature (T1 in kelvin)>>");
   scanf("%d",&t1);
   printf("Enter Temperature (T2 in kelvin)>>");
   scanf("%d",&t2);
   printf("Enter Coefficient of Thermal Conductivity >>");
   scanf("%lf",&k);

   printf("Enter Thickness of Conductor >>");
   scanf("%lf",&x);
a=(h*x)/(k*(t2-t1));
   printf("The cross-sectional area is %.2f watts",a);
}
