Department of Chemical Engineering: CHME 311: Heat Transfer (Fall 2020)

This document provides the details of Homework #1 assigned in a Heat Transfer course. It includes 4 questions related to heat transfer through conduction, convection, and radiation. Question 1 involves calculating the temperature of the back surface of a steel plate exposed to radiant heat on one surface. Question 2 requires calculating the heat lost through a steel tube with fluid flowing inside and outside. Question 3 asks about the heat flow rates and heating/cooling of a material with a non-uniform temperature distribution. Question 4 is about determining the convection heat transfer coefficient needed to ensure the outer surface of insulation wrapping a wall does not exceed a certain temperature.

Q1) A steel plate of 1/4-in and have a thermal conductivity of 25 Btu/h ft ◦F is exposed to a radiant
heat flux of 1500 Btu/h ft2 in a vacuum space where the convection heat transfer is negligible.
Assuming that the surface temperature of the steel exposed to the radiant energy is maintained at
100◦F, what will be the other surface temperature if all the radiant energy striking the plate is
transferred through the plate by conduction? [25 marks]

Q2) A steel tube having k =46W/m. 0C has an inside diameter of 3.0 cm and a tube wall thickness
of 2 mm. A fluid flows on the inside of the tube producing a convection coefficient of 1500W/m2.

C on the inside surface, while a second fluid flows across the outside of the tube producing a
convection coefficient of 197 W/m2 . 0C on the outside tube surface. The inside fluid temperature
is 223 0C while the outside fluid temperature is 57 0C. Calculate the heat lost by the tube per meter
of length. [25 marks ]
Q3) A certain material has a thickness of 30 cm and a thermal conductivity of 0.04 W/m. 0C. At
a particular instant in time, the temperature distribution with x, the distance from the left face, is T
=150x2 −30x, where x is in meters. Calculate the heat-flow rates at x = 0 and x=30 cm. Is the solid
heating up or cooling down? [25 marks]

Q4) A wall of an apartment is exposed to an ambient temperature of 38◦C. The wall is covered
with a layer of insulation 2.5 cm thick whose thermal conductivity is 1.4 W/m◦C, and the
temperature of the wall on the inside of the insulation is 315◦C. The wall loses heat to the ambient
by convection.
Compute the value of the convection heat-transfer coefficient that must be maintained on the outer
surface of the insulation to ensure that the outer-surface temperature does not exceed 41◦C. [25
