Conduction 1 Dimension 08

This document discusses one-dimensional, steady-state heat conduction through plane walls and cylinders. It introduces key concepts like thermal conductivity, temperature gradient, heat flux, thermal resistance for conduction and convection. An example problem is given to calculate the minimum thickness of a composite window in an oven to ensure the outer surface temperature does not exceed 50°C for safety.

The plane wall

For one dimensional conduction in a plane wall,


temperature is a function of the x coordinate only and
heat transferred exclusively in this direction.

For one dimensional, steady state conduction in


plane wall with no heat generation , the heat flux is a
constant, independent of x.

The Composite Wall
Example

A leading manufacturer of household appliances is proposing a self


cleaning oven design that involves use of a composite window
separating the oven cavity from the room air. The composite is to
consist of two high temperature plastics (A and B) of thicknesses
LA = 2LB and thermal conductivities kA = 0.15 W/M and kB = 0.08
W/m.K, During the self cleaning process, the oven wall and air
temperatures Tw and Ta are 400 °C while the room air temperature
T is 25 °C. The inside convection and radiation heat transfer
coefficient hi and hr as well as the outside convection coefficient
ho are each approximately 25 W/m2 K. What is the minimum
window thickness, L = LA +LB, needed to ensure a temperature is
50 °C or less at the outer surface of the window?
This temperature must not be exceeded for safety reasons,
Find the heat transfer per unit area through the
composite wall sketched. Assume one dimensional heat
