Problem Set #1

1. The inner surface of furnace wall is at 200 °C and outer surface at 50°C. Calculate the heat lost
per m2 area of the wall. If thermal conductivity of the brick is 0.5 W/m°C & the wall thickness
is 200mm.
2. The wall of a boiler is made up of 250mm of the brick, KFB = 1.05 W/m-K; 120 mm of insulation
brick KIB = 0.15 W/m-K, and 200 mm of red brick, KRB= 0.85 W/m K. The inner and outer
surface temperatures of the wall are 850°C and 65°C respectively. Calculate the temperatures
at the contact surfaces.
3. A small radiant heater has metal strips 6 mm with a total length of 3 m. The surface emissivity
of the strips is 0.85. To what temperature must the strips be heated if they are to dissipate
2000 W of heat to a room at 25 °C?
4. The inner and outer surface temperatures of a glass window 5 mm thick are 15 and 5°C,
respectively. What is the heat loss through a window that is 1 m by 3 m on a side? The thermal
conductivity of glass is 1.4 W/m-K.
5. The convection heat transfer coefficient between a surface at 40°C and ambient air at 20°C is
20 W/m2-K. Calculate the heat flux leaving the surface by convection.
6. A cylindrical system, 1 m long and 3 cm in diameter, is heated and positioned in a vacuum
furnace which has interior walls at 900 K temperature. Current is passed through the rod and
its surface is maintained at 1000K. Calculate the power supplied to the heating rod if its
surface has an emissivity of 0.8.
7. A steel tube of 1mm wall thickness is being used to condense ammonia, using cooling water
outside the pipe in a refrigeration plant. If the water-side heat transfer coefficient is estimated
at 1750 J/m-s-°C and the thermal conductivity of steel is 45 J/m-s-°C. calculate the overall
heat-transfer coefficient. Assuming the ammonia condensing coefficient, 6000 J/m-s-°C.
8. Calculate the respective U values for a wall made from either 10 cm of brick of thermal
conductivity 0.7 J/m-s-°C, or (b) 1.3mm of aluminum sheet, conductivity 208 J/m-s-°C.
Surface heat-transfer coefficients are on the one side 9.8 and on the other 40 J/m-s-°C.
9. A polished metal pipe 5 cm outside diameter and 370 K temperature at the outer surface is
exposed to ambient conditions at 295 K temperature. The emissivity of the surface is 0.2 and
the convection coefficient of heat transfer is 11.35 W/m2-K. Calculate the heat transfer by
radiation and natural convection per meter length of the pipe. Take thermal radiation
constant σb=5.67 x 10−8W/m2 K4. What would be the overall coefficient of heat transfer by the
combined mode of convection and radiation?
10. Calculate the rate of heat transfer through a glass window with 3 m2 surface area and 5 mm
thickness if the temperature on the two sides of the glass is 14°C and 15 °C respectively and
the thermal conductivity of the glass is 0.7 W/m 8C. The system is at steady state.
