Determine a) the rate of heat loss through the roof that night b) thecost of that heat loss to the home owner if the cost of electricity is$0.14/kWh.
At 18.75 °C a brass sleeve has an inside diameter of 2.21988 cmand a steel shaft has a diameter of 2.22258 cm. It is desired toshrink-fit the sleeve over the steel shaft. (a) To what temperaturemust the sleeve be heated in order for it to slip over the shaft?(b) Alternatively, to what temperature must the shaft be cooledbefore it is able to slip through the sleeve?
Two 5-cm-diameter, 15-cm-long aluminum bars (k = 176 W/m·K) with ground surfaces are pressed against each other with a pressure of 20 atm. The bars are enclosed in an insulation sleeve and, thus, heat transfer from the lateral surfaces is negligible. If the top and bottom surfaces of the two-bar system are maintained at temperatures of 150°C and 20°C, respectively, determine (a) the rate of heat transfer along the cylinders under steady conditions and (b) the temperature drop at the interface.
Water enters a 2.5-cm-internal-diameter thin copper tube of a heat exchanger at 15°C at a rate of 0.3 kg/s, and is heated by steam condensing outside at 120°C. If the average heat transfer coefficient is 800 W/m2·°C, determine the length of the tube required in order to heat the water to 115°C
Carbon steel balls (r = 7833 kg/m3, k = 54 W/m·K, cp = 0.465 kJ/kg·°C, and a = 1.474 * 1026 m2/s) 8 mm in diameter are annealed by heating them first to 900°C in a furnace and then allowing them to cool slowly to 100°C in ambient air at 35°C. If the average heat transfer coefficient is 75 W/m2·K, determine how long the annealing process will take. If 2500 balls are to be annealed per hour, determine the total rate of heat transfer from the balls to the ambient air.
Train tracks are composed of 10 m segments of steel rails. If the temperature outside is 30°C on average, and the temperature in the factory that produces the rails is 20°C, what length must the steel rails be produced at so that the fit perfectly end-to-end when laid outside? The linear expansion coefficient of steel is 1.2 x 10-5 K-1.
In the summer of 1958 in St. Petersburg, Florida, a new sidewalk was poured near the childhood home of one of the authors. No expansion joints were supplied, and by mid-July the sidewalk had been completely destroyed by thermal expansion and had to be replaced, this time with the important addition of expansion joints! This event is modeled here. A slab of concrete 4.00 cm thick, 1.00 m long, and 1.00 m wide is poured for a sidewalk at an ambient temperature of 25.0°C and allowed to set. The slab is exposed to direct sunlight and placed in a series of such slabs without proper expansion joints, so linear expansion is prevented. (a) Using the linear expansion equation (Eq. 10.4), eliminate Δ L from the equation for compressive stress and strain (Eq. 9.3). (b) Use the expression found in part (a) to eliminate Δ T from Equation 11.3, obtaining a symbolic equation for thermal energy transfer Q. (c) Compute the mass of the concrete slab given that its density is 2.40 × 103 kg/m3. (d)…

The thermal conductivity of layer 1 (2cm thick) is 0.44 W/ m-K and the thermal conductivity of Layer 2 ( 3cm thick) is 0.67 W/m-K. If the air surrounding the slab is 27 degree C and the convective heat transfer coefficient between the top of the slab and the air is 19W/m^2-K.
