    Show detailed steps.

    Problem 1: As shown in Figure 1, a 60 cm-long, 3 cm-diameter AISI 1010 steel rod with
    thermal conductivity of 59 W/m-K is welded to a furnace wall and passes through 20 cm
    of insulation before emerging into the surrounding air. The furnace wall is at 300 ˚C, and
    the air temperature is 20 ˚C. Estimate
    a) the heat loss through the rod; and
    b) the temperature of the bar tip if the heat transfer coefficient between the rod and air
    is taken to be 13 W/m2K.

    Problem 2: An aluminum pipe through a cold room has a 4 cm ID and 5 cm OD. It carries water
    which sometimes sits stationary. It is proposed to put electric heating rings around the pipe to
    protect against freezing during cold periods of -10 °C. The heat transfer coefficient outside the
    pipe is h = 9 W/m2-K. Neglect the presence of the water and
    a) Determine the how far apart the heaters would have to be (2L =?), if they brought the
    pipe temperature locally to 50 °C.
    b) How much heat each heater transfers to the pipe?

    Problem 3: Heat is generated uniformly in an 8 cm thick slab at a rate of 450 kW/m3. One
    face of the slab is insulated and the other is cooled by water at 20 ˚C, giving a heat transfer
    coefficient of 800 W/m2K. If the thermal conductivity of the slab is 12 W/(m·K), determine
    the temperature profile and the maximum temperature in the slab.

    Problem 4: Heat is generated at a rate 𝑄̇𝑉,,, in a long solid cylinder of radius R. The cylinder has a
    thin metal sheath and is immersed in a liquid at temperature T e. Heat transfer from the cylinder
    surface to the liquid can be characterized by an overall heat transfer coefficient U. Obtain the
    steady-state temperature distributions for the following cases:
    1. 𝑄̇𝑉,,, is constant.
    𝑟 2
    2. 𝑄̇𝑉,,, = 𝑄̇𝑉0
    ,,, ,,,
    [1 − (𝑅)] , 𝑄̇𝑉0 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑅 are constants.

    Problem 5 (addition 5’ for 1st midterm test,


    optional): A high-temperature, gas-cooled
    nuclear reactor consists of a composite
    cylindrical wall for which a thorium fuel
    element (k ≈ 57 W/m∙K) is encased in
    graphite (k ≈ 3 W/m∙K) and gaseous helium
    flows through an annular coolant channel.
    Consider conditions for which the helium temperature is T∞ = 600 K and the convection
    coefficient at the outer surface of the graphite is h = 2000 W/m2∙K. If thermal energy is
    uniformly generated in the fuel element at a rate 𝑞 = ̇ 108 W/m3, what is the temperature
    T1 at the inner surface, respectively, of the fuel element? The inner surface is assumed to
    be ideally insulated.
