HT Assignment 1 (2019)

This document contains 11 heat transfer problems involving insulation selection, heat generation in walls, cooling of materials, heat loss from roofs, heat transfer in pipes, heat transfer in ducts, and radiative heat transfer between concentric cylinders. The problems provide temperature and geometry information and ask the student to calculate things like interface temperatures, maximum temperatures, cooling times, heat losses, heat transfers, and radiation shield temperatures and efficiencies.

CHT-202 Heat Transfer
Assignment No. 1

1. An insulation system is to be selected for a furnace wall at 1000° C using a first layer of
mineral wool blocks followed by fiberglass boards. The outside of insulation is exposed to an
environment with h = 15 W/m2. °C and T∞ = 40° C. Calculate the thickness of each insulating
material such that the interface temperature is not greater than 400° C and the outside
temperature is not greater than 55° C. Use mean values for the thermal conductivities. What
is the heat loss in this wall in watts per square meter?

2. A plane wall 6.0 cm thick generates heat internally at the rate of 0.3 MW/m3. One side of
the wall insulated, and the other side is exposed to an environment at 93° C. The convection
heat-transfer coefficient between the wall and the environment is 570 W/m2. °C. The thermal
conductivity of the wall is 21W/m. °C. Calculate the maximum temperature in the wall.

3. A piece of aluminium weighing 6 kg and initially at a temperature of 300 °C is suddenly


immersed in a fluid at 20° C. The convection heat transfer coefficient is 58 W/m2. °C. Taking
the aluminium as a sphere having the same weight as that given, estimate the time required to
cool the aluminium to 90° C, using the lumped-capacity method of analysis.

4. The roof of a building is 30 m by 60 m, and because of heat loading by the sun it attains a
temperature of 300 K when the ambient air temperature is 0° C. Calculate the heat loss from
the roof for mild breeze blowing at 5 mi/h across roof (L = 30m).

5. Water flows in a 2 cm diameter tube at an average flow velocity of 8 m/s. If the water
enters at 20° C and leaves at 30° C and the tube length is 10m, estimate the average wall
temperature necessary to effect the required heat transfer.

6. Water at the rate of 1kg/s is forced through a tube with a 2.5 cm ID. The inlet water
temperature is 15°C and the outlet water temperature is 50°C. The tube wall temperature is
14°C higher than the water temperature all along the length of the tube. What is the length of
the tube?

7. A 0.3 m-square air conditioning duct carries air at a temperature such that the outside
temperature of the duct is maintained at 15.6°C and is exposed to room air at 27°C. Estimate
the heat gained by the duct per meter of length.

8. A large bare duct having a diameter of 30 cm runs horizontally across a factory area having
environmental conditions of 20°C and 1 atm. The length of the duct is 100m. Inside the duct
a low pressure steam flow maintains the wall temperature constant at 120°C. Calculate the
total heat lost by convention from the duct to the room.
9. A long cylindrical heater 2.5 cm in diameter is maintained at 500°C and has a surface
emissivity of 0.8. The heater is located in a large room whose walls are at 25°C. How much
will the radiant heat transfer from the heater be reduced if it is surrounded by a 30 cm
diameter radiation shield of aluminium having an emissivity of 0.2? What is the temperature
of the shield?

10. A long cylinder having diameter of 2cm is maintained at 600°C and has an emissivity of
0.4. Surrounding the cylinder is another long, thin walled concentric cylinder having a
diameter of 6cm and an emissivity of 0.2 on both the inside and outside surfaces. The
assembly is located in a large room having a temperature of 27°C. Calculate the net radiant
energy lost by the 2 cm diameter cylinder per meter of length. Also calculate the temperature
of the 6 cm diameter cylinder.

11. Two long concentric cylinders have diameter of 4 and 8cm, respectively. The inside
cylinder is at 800°C and outer cylinder is at 100°C. The inside and outside emissivities are
0.8 and 0.4, respectively. Calculate the percent reduction in heat transfer if a cylindrical
radiation shield having a diameter of 6cm and emissivity of 0.3 is placed between the two
cylinders.
