2. An ice chest is constructed of Styrofoam [k=0.033 W/mK] 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/m2K. 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)
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/mK, followed by a 4 cm layer of insulation having
k=0.25 W/mK. The outside
temperature of the insulation is 20 oC. Calculate the heat loss per meter of
length. Assume k=47 W/mK for the pipe. (375 W/m)

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/m2K. The thermal conductivity of the wall is 21 W/mK.
Calculate the maximum temperature in the wall. (T = 150.3 ℃)
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 2K on both
sides of the wall, calculate the overall heat transfer coefficient for this
arrangement. (0.7 W/m2K)
