    1.

    A 4 m high and 6 m wide wall consists of a long 18 cm x 30 cm cross


    section of horizontal bricks (kbrick= 0.72 W/m.oC) separated by 3-cm thick
    plaster layers (kplaster= 0.22 W/m.oC). They are also 2 cm thick plaster layers
    on each side of the wall, and a 2-cm thick rigid foam (k foam= 0.026 W/m. oC)
    on the inner side of the wall. The indoor and the outdoor temperatures are
    22oC and -4oC, and the convection heat transfer coefficients on the inner and
    the outer sides are h1 = 10 W/m2oC and h2 = 20 W/m2oC, respectively.
    Assuming one-dimensional heat transfer and disregarding radiation,
    determine the rate of heat transfer through the wall.
    2. The exterior walls of a building are a composite consisting of 10 mm thick
    plaster board, 50 mm thick urethane foam and a 10 mm thick soft wood. On
    a typical winter day the outside and inside air temperatures are -15 oC and
    20oC respectively with outer and inner convection coefficients of 15 W/m 2K
    and 5 W/m2K respectively. (i) What is the heating load for a 1 m 2 section of
    the wall? (ii) What is the heating load if the composite wall is replaced by a
    double glazed window consisting of two 3 mm thick glass panes separated
    by a 5 mm thick stagnant air gap? (kplaster = 0.17 W/mK, kfoam = 0.026 W/mK,
    kwood = 0.12 W/mK, kglass = 1.4 W/mK, kair = 0.0263 W/mK).
    3. Consider a 1.2 m high and 2 m wide double-panel glass window consisting
    of two 3 mm thick layers of glass (k=0.78 W/m.K) separated by a 12 mm
    wide stagnant air space (k=0.026 W/m.K). Determine the steady rate of heat
    transfer through this double panel glass window which the room is
    maintained at 24oC and the outdoor is -5 oC. (Inner heat transfer co-efficient
    = 10 W/m2K and Outer heat transfer co-efficient 25 W/m2K).
    4. Heat is lost steadily through a 0.5 cm thick 2 m x 3 m window glass whose
    thermal conductivity is 0.7 W/m.K. The inner and outer surface temperatures
    of the glass are measured to be 12 oC and 9oC. Determine the rate of heat
    loss through the conduction.
    5. The wall of an oven is a composite of following layers. Layer A has a
    conductivity of 20 W/mK and layer C has a conductivity of 50 W/mK. The
    lengths of layers A, B and C are 0.3 m, 0.15 m and 0.15 m respectively.
    The inner and outer temperatures are 600 oC and 20 oC respectively. The
    oven temperature is 800 oC and convection coefficient is 25 W/m 2K. Find the
    conduction coefficient of layer B.
    6. A thick walled copper cylinder has an inside radius of 1 cm and outside
    radius of 2 cm. The inner and outer surfaces are held at 310 K and 290 K
    respectively. Assume k varies with temperature as
    k (W/mK) = 371.9 [1 - 9.25 X 10 -5 (T - 150)]

    Determine the heat loss per unit length.


    7. Compute the heat loss per square metre surface area of a 40 cm thick
    furnace wall having surface temperatures of 300 oC and 50 oC if the thermal
    conductivity k of the wall material is given by
    k = 0.005 T 5 X 10-6 T2 where T = temp. in oC.
