TUTORIAL 02 – Steady State Conduction – One Dimension

1. Find the heat transfer per unit area through the composite wall sketched.
Assume one- dimensional heat flow. (RT=6.622kW)

2. An ice chest is constructed of Styrofoam [k=0.033 W/mK] with inside
dimensions of 25 by 40 by 100 cm. The wall thickness is 5.0cm. The outside of
the chest is exposed to air at 25oC with h=20 W/m2K. if the chest is completely
filled with ice, calculate the time for the ice to completely melt. State your
assumptions. The heat of fusion for water is 330kJ/kg. (15.9 days)

3. A spherical tank, 1 m in diameter, is maintained at a temperature of 120 oC and


exposed to a convection environment. With h=25 W/m 2K and T=15oC, what
thickness of urethane foam should be added to ensure that the outer temperature
of the insulation does not exceed 40oC? What percentage reduction in heat loss
results from installing this insulation? (76 %)

4. A cylindrical tank 80 cm in diameter and 2.0 m high contains water at 80 oC.


The tank is 90% full, and insulation is to be added so that the water temperature
will not drop more than 2oC per hour. Using fiberglass boards as an insulating
material, taking the mean value of k calculate the thickness required for the
specific cooling rate. (5 mm)

5. A hot steam pipe having an inside surface temperature of 250 oC has an inside
diameter of 8 cm and a wall thickness of 5.5 mm. It is covered with a 9 cm layer of
insulation having k =0.5 W/mK, followed by a 4 cm layer of insulation having
k=0.25 W/mK. The outside
temperature of the insulation is 20 oC. Calculate the heat loss per meter of
length. Assume k=47 W/mK for the pipe. (375 W/m)

6. An insulation system is to be selected for a furnace wall at 1000 oC using first a


layer of mineral wool blocks followed by fiberglass boards. The outside of the
insulation is exposed to an environment with h=15 W/m 2K and T=40oC.
Using the data of Table 2-1, J.P.Holman, calculate the thickness of each insulating
material such that the interface temperature is not greater than 400oC and the
outside temperature is not greater than 55oC. Use mean values for the

1/2
thermal conductivities. What is the heat loss in this wall in watts per meter?
(225 W/m2)

7. A plane wall 6.0 cm thick generates heat internally at the rate of 0.6 MW/m 3.
One side of the wall is insulated, and the other side is exposed to an environment
at 93oC. The convection heat transfer coefficient between the wall and the
environment is 570 W/m2K. The thermal conductivity of the wall is 21 W/mK.
Calculate the maximum temperature in the wall. (T = 150.3 ℃)

8. A 1.0 mm diameter wire is maintained at a temperature of 400 oC and exposed


to a convection environment at 40oC with h=120 W/m2K. Calculate the thermal
conductivity which will just cause an insulation thickness of 0.2 mm to produce a
“critical radius.” How much of this insulation must be added to reduce the
heat transfer by 75% from that which would be experienced by the bare wire?
(0.135 m)

9. Derive an expression for the thermal resistance through a hollow spherical shell
of inside radius ri and outside radius ro having a thermal conductivity k.

10. A house wall may be approximated as two 1.2 cm layers of fiber insulating
board, an 8.0 cm layer of loosely packed asbestos, and a 10 cm layer of common
brick. Assuming convection heat transfer coefficients of 15 W/m 2K on both
sides of the wall, calculate the overall heat transfer coefficient for this
arrangement. (0.7 W/m2K)
