MME542 QQP Extr 22

The document contains 10 multi-part engineering exercises involving heat transfer through various materials and geometries. The exercises involve calculating things like heat flux, surface temperatures, thickness of insulation, and temperature distributions given properties of the materials and boundary conditions like temperatures and heat transfer coefficients. Mathematical equations for one-dimensional heat conduction and heat transfer through cylindrical and planar geometries are provided.

MME542 Exercises Feb, 2024

1. An asbestos pad is square in cross section, measuring 5 cm on a side at its small end
increasing linearly to 10 cm on a side at the large end. The pad is 15 cm high. If the small
end is held at 600 K and the large end at 300 K, what heat-flow rate will be obtained if the
four sides are insulated? Assume one dimensional heat conduction. The thermal
conductivity of asbestos may be taken as 0.173 W/mK:
2. A sheet of insulating material, with thermal conductivity of 0.22W/m K is 2 cm thick
and has a surface area of 2.97 m2. If 4 kW of heat are conducted through this sheet and the
outer (cooler) surface temperature is measured at 55oC (328 K), what will be the temperature
on the inner (hot) surface?
3. Plate glass, k =1.35W/m K, initially at 850 K, is cooled by blowing air past both surfaces
with an effective surface coefficient of 5 W/m2 K. It is necessary, in order that the glass
does not crack, to limit the maximum temperature gradient in the glass to 15 K/mm during
the cooling process. At the start of the cooling process, what is the lowest temperature of
the cooling air that can be used?
4. A 0.20-m-thick brick wall (k = 1.3 W/m K) separates the combustion zone of a furnace
from its surroundings at 25oC. For an outside wall surface temperature of 100oC, with a
convective heat transfer coefficient of 18 W/m2 K, what will be the inside wall surface
temperature at steady-state conditions?
5. The freezer compartment in a conventional refrigerator can be modeled as a rectangular
cavity 0.3 m high and 0.25 m wide with a depth of 0.5 m. Determine the thickness of
styrofoam insulation (k = 0.30W/mK) needed to limit the heat loss to
400 W if the inner and outer surface temperatures are -10 and 33oC, respectively.
6. The cross section of a storm window is shown in the sketch. How much
heat will be lost through a window measuring 1.83 m by 3.66 m on a cold
day when the inside and outside air temperatures are, respectively, 295 and
250 K? Convective coefficients on the inside and outside surfaces of the
window are 20 and 15 W/m2 K, respectively. What temperature drop will
exist across each of the glass panes? What will be the average temperature
of the air between the glass panes?
7. A spherical shell with inner and outer dimensions of ri and ro, respectively, has surface
temperatures Ti(ri) and To(ro). Assuming constant properties and one-dimensional (radial)
conduction, sketch the temperature distribution, T(r). Give reasons for the shape you have
sketched.
8. One-dimensional steady-state conduction, with no internal Heat generation, occurs
across a plane wall having a constant thermal conductivity of 30 W/mK. The material is 30
cm thick. For each case listed in the table below, determine the unknown quantities. Show
a sketch of the temperature distribution for each case.

9. The steady-state expression for heat conduction through a plane wall is q = (kA/L)∆T.
For steady-state heat conduction through a hollow cylinder, an expression similar this
equation is where 𝐴̅ is the ‘‘log-mean’’ area defined as

a. Show that 𝐴̅ as defined above satisfies the equations for steady-state radial heat transfer
in a hollow cylindrical element.
b. If the arithmetic mean area, 𝜋(𝑟𝑜 − 𝑟𝑖 ), is used rather than the logarithmic mean,
calculate the resulting percent error for values of ro/ri of 1.5, 3, and 5.
10. A double-pane insulated window unit consists of two 1-cm-thick pieces of glass
separated by a 1.8-cm layer of air. The unit measures 4 m in width and is 3 m wide. Under
conditions where the extreme outside temperature of the glass is at -10oC and air, at 27oC,
is adjacent to the inside glass surface, with hi = 12W/m2K determine
a. the inside glass surface temperature.
b. the rate of heat transfer through the window unit.
