    Botswana International University of Science and Technology

    1. Derive an expression for the total resistance of a plane wall subjected to convection at
    both sides. Use usual notations.

    2. Derive an expression for the temperature variation in the radial direction of a long cylin-
    drical tube. The inside and outside temperatures are Ti and To respectively. The inside
    and outside radii are ri and ro respectively

    3. The rear window of an automobile is defogged by passing warm air over its inner surface. If
    warm air is at T∞ = 40 ◦ C and the corresponding convection coefficient hi = 30W/m2 .K,
    what are the inner and outer surface temperatures of 4 – mm thick window glass, if the
    outside ambient air temperature is T∞ = -10 ◦ C and the associated convection coefficient
    is ho = 65W/m2 .K? Take thermal conductivity of glass at 300 K as 1.4 W/mK.
    (7.7,4.9◦ C)

    4. A commercial grade cubical freezer, 3 m, on a side has a composite wall consisting of


    exterior sheet of 6.35 mm thick plain carbon steel, an intermediate layer of 100 mm thick
    cork insulation, and an inner sheet of 6.35 mm thick aluminum alloy. Adhesive interfaces
    between the insulation and the metallic strips are each characterized by a thermal contact
    00
    resistance of Rtc = 2.510−4 m2 .K/W . What is steady state cooling load that must be
    maintained by the refrigerator under conditions for which the outer and inner surface
    temperatures are 22◦ C and -6◦ C respectively? (590 W)

    5. A thin electrical heater is wrapped around the outer surface of a long cylindrical tube
    whose inner surface is maintained at a temperature of 5◦ C. The tube wall has inner and
    outer radii of 25 and 75 mm respectively and a thermal conductivity of 10 W/m.K. The
    thermal contact resistance between the heater and outer surface of the tube (per unit
    0
    length of the tube) is Rtc =0.01 m.K/W. The outer surface of the heater is exposed to a
    fluid with T∞ = −10◦ C and a convection coefficient of h = 100W/m2 .K. Determine the
    heater power per unit length of the tube required to maintain the heater at To = 25◦ C.
    2377.0 W/m)

    6. A 2 mm diameter electrical wire is insulated by a 2 mm thick rubberized sheath (k= 0.13


    W/m.K) and the wire/sheath interface is characterized by a thermal contact resistance
    of 0Rtc = 3 10−4 m2 .K/W . The convection heat transfer coefficient at the outer surface
    of the sheath is h = 10 W/m2 .K and the temperature of the ambient air is 20◦ C. If
    the temperature of the insulation may not exceed 50◦ C what is the maximum allowable
    electrical power that may be dissipated per unit length of the conductor? What is the
    critical radius of the insulation? (4.51 W/m, 13 mm)

    7. The wall of a spherical tank of 1.0 m diameter contains an exothermic chemical reaction
    and is at 200◦ C when the ambient air temperature is at 25◦ C. What thickness of urethane
    foam is required to reduce the exterior temperature to 40◦ C, assuming the convection
    coefficient is 20 W/m2 K for both situations? What is the percentage reduction in heat
    rate achieved by using the insulation? (13.5 mm, 91%)
