Exam Questions

(20pnt) 1- a- Write down the expressions for each mode of heat transfer, and identify the variables-units-
involved in each relation.
b- Name some good conductors of heat and some poor conductors
c- Consider steady one-dimensional heat transfer through a multi-layer medium. If the rate of
heat transfer is known, explain how you would determine the temperature drop across each
layer
d- Define thermal diffusivity

(20pnt) 2- a- Derive a relation for the thermal resistance of sphere

(25pnt) 3- Assuming heat transfer through the wall as seen in Figure, to be one-dimensional;
a- draw the electrical analogy and find the rate of heat transfer qk through the wall
b- the temperature at the point where the materials A, B and C meet
c- the temperature drop across the Section 3

(35pnt) 4- Chilled water enters a thin-shelled 5-cm diameter, 150-m long pipe at 7 oC at a rate of 0.98 kg/s
and leaves at 8 oC (Cp= 4180 J/kg.oC). The pipe is exposed to air at 30 oC with a heat transfer
coefficient 9 W/m2.oC. If the pipe is to be insulated with glass wool insulation
(k= 0.05 W/m.oC) in order to decrease the temperature rise of water to 0.25 oC.
Average wall temperature can be taken as; Twall= (Tin+Tout)/2
a- draw the electrical analogy and find the rate of heat transfer
b- determine the required thickness of the insulation
