This document outlines 5 problems related to heat transfer: 1. Calculating the rate of heat loss through the walls of a boiler furnace with multiple layers of different materials. 2. Determining the heat loss and interface temperatures of layers of insulation around a hot spherical container. 3. Calculating the heat loss per unit length from a long buried pipe with given surface temperatures of the pipe and surrounding earth. 4. Finding the length of tube required to heat water from 20C to 60C by condensing steam on the tube surface, which is maintained at 90C. 5. Comparing the net heat exchange between two large plates maintained at different temperatures, when the plates are either black

Problems:

1. Calculate the rate of heat loss through the vertical walls of a boiler furnace of
size 4 m by 3 m by 3 m high. The walls are constructed from an inner fire brick
wall 25 cm thick of thermal conductivity 0.4 W/mK, a layer of ceramic blanket
insulation of thermal conductivity 0.2 W/mK and 8 cm thick, and a steel
protective layer of thermal conductivity 55 W/mK and 2 mm thick. The inside
temperature of the fire brick layer was measured at 600o C and the temperature
of the outside of the insulation 600 C. Also find the interface temperature of
layers.
2. A spherical container of negligible thickness holding a hot fluid at 140 oC and
having an outer diameter of 0.4 m is insulated with three layers of each 50 mm
thick insulation of k1 = 0.02: k2 = 0.06 and k3 = 0.16 W/mK. (Starting from inside).
The outside surface temperature is 300C. Determine (i) the heat loss, and (ii)
Interface temperatures of insulating layers.
3. A long pipe of 0.6 m outside diameter is buried in earth with axis at a depth of
1.8 m. the surface temperature of pipe and earth are 950 C and 250 C
respectively. Calculate the heat loss from the pipe per unit length. The
conductivity of earth is 0.51W/mK.
4. When 0.6 kg of water per minute is passed through a tube of 2 cm diameter, it
is found to be heated from 20oC to 60oC. the heating is achieved by condensing
steam on the surface of the tube and subsequently the surface temperature of
the tube is maintained at 90o C. Determine the length of the tube required for
fully developed flow.
5. Two large plates are maintained at a temperature of 900 K and 500 K
respectively. Each plate has area of 36 m2. Compare the net heat exchange
between the plates for the following cases.
(i) Both plates are black
(ii) Plates have an emissivity of 0.5
