MS3120 Basic Heat Transfer

Problem 1

A motor draws electric power Pelec from a supply line and delivers mechanical
power Pmech to a pump through a rotating copper shaft of thermal conductivity ks,
length L, and diameter D. The motor is mounted on a square pad of width W,
thickness t, and thermal conductivity kp. The surface of the housing exposed to
ambient air at T∞ is of area Ah, and the corresponding convection coefficient is hh.
Opposite ends of the shaft are at temperatures of Th and T∞, and heat transfer from
the shaft to the ambient air is characterized by the convection coefficient hs. The
base of the pad is at T∞. What is the value of Th if Pelec = 25 kW, Pmech =15 kW,
ks = 400 W/m K, L = 0.6 m, D = 0.05 m, W = 0.7 m, t = 0.05 m, kp = 0.5 W/m K,
Ah = 2 m2, hh = 10 W/m2 K, hs = 300 W/m2 K, and T∞ = 27oC?

Problem 2

A long cylindrical rod of diameter 200 mm with thermal conductivity of 0.5 W/m K
experiences uniform volumetric heat generation of 25,000 W/m3. The rod is encapsulated by a
circular sleeve having an outer diameter of 400 mm and a thermal conductivity of 4 W/m K.
The outer surface of the sleeve is exposed to cross flow of air at 27oC with a convection
coefficient of 25 W/m2 K. (a) Find the temperature at the interface between the rod and sleeve
and on the outer surface. (b) What is the temperature at the center of the rod?

Problem 3
Consider a plane composite wall that is composed of three materials (materials A, B, and C are arranged
left to right) of thermal conductivities kA = 0.24 W/m K, kB = 0.13 W/m K, and kC = 0.50 W/m K. The
thicknesses of the three sections of the wall are LA = 20 mm, LB = 13 mm, and LC = 20 mm. A contact
resistance of Rt,c = 10-2 m2 K/W exists at the interface between materials A and B, as well as at the
interface between materials B and C. The left face of the composite wall is insulated, while the right
face is exposed to convective conditions characterized by h = 10 W/m2 K, T∞ = 20oC. For Case 1,
thermal energy is generated within material A at the rate qA = 5000 W/m3. For Case 2, thermal energy
is generated within material C at the rate qC = 5000 W/m3. (a) Determine the maximum temperature
within the composite wall under steady-state conditions for Case 1.
(b) Sketch the steady-state temperature distribution on T - x coordinates for Case 1.
(c) Sketch the steady-state temperature distribution for Case 2 on the same T-x coordinates used for
Case 1.

Problem 4

A 4-m-high and 6-m-wide wall consists of a long 18-cm × 30-cm cross section of horizontal
bricks (k _ 0.72 W/m °C) separated by 3-cm-thick plaster layers (k = 0.22 W/m °C). There are
also 2-cm-thick plaster layers on each side of the wall, and a 2-cm-thick rigid foam (k =0.026
W/m °C) on the inner side of the wall. The indoor and the outdoor temperatures are 22°C and
-4°C, and the convection heat transfer coefficients on the inner and the outer sides are h1 = 10
W/m2 °C and h2 = 20 W/m2 °C, respectively. Assuming one-dimensional heat transfer and
disregarding radiation, determine the rate of heat transfer through the wall.

Problem 5

Hot water at an average temperature of 95°C is flowing through a 15-m section of a cast iron
pipe (k = 52 W/m °C) whose inner and outer diameters are 4 cm and 4.6 cm, respectively.
The outer surface of the pipe, whose emissivity is 0.7, is exposed to the cold air at 10°C in
the basement, with a heat transfer coefficient of 15 W/m2 °C. The heat transfer coefficient at
the inner surface of the pipe is 120 W/m2 °C. Taking the walls of the basement to be at 10°C
also, determine the rate of heat loss from the hot water. Also, determine the average velocity
of the water in the pipe if the temperature of the water drops by 3°C as it passes through the
basement.
