1.3 A furnace wall is to be constructed of brick having standard dimensions of Two kinds of material are available. One has a maximum usable temperature of 1040°C and a thermal conductivity of 1.7 W/(m K), and the other has a maximum temperature limit of 870°C and a thermal conductivity of 0.85 W/(m K). The bricks have the same cost and are laid in any manner, but we wish to design the most economical wall for a furnace with a temperature of 1040°C on the hot side and 200°C on the cold side. If the maximum amount of heat transfer permissible is 950 , determine the most economical arrangement using the available bricks.
Thermal conductivity for pure aluminum: kal = 238 W/m⋅K ; Thermal conductivity for glass: kgl = 1.4 W/m⋅K.
Solar heating of a house is much more efficientif there is a way to store the thermal energy collected during theday to warm the house at night. Suppose one solar-heated homeutilizes a concrete slab of area 12 m2and 25 cm thick. (a) If thedensity of concrete is 2400 kg>m3, what is the mass of the slab?(b) The slab is exposed to sunlight and absorbs energy at a rate of1.4 * 107J>h for 10 h. If it begins the day at 22 °C and has a specificheat of 750 J>1kg # K2, what is its temperature at sunset? (c) Modelthe concrete slab as being surrounded on both sides (contact area24 m2) with a 2.0-m-thick layer of air in contact with a surface thatis 5.0 °C cooler than the concrete. At sunset, what is the rate atwhich the concrete loses thermal energy by conduction throughthe air layer? (d) Model the concrete slab as having a surface areaof 24 m2and surrounded by an environment 5.0 °C cooler thanthe concrete. If its emissivity is 0.94, what is the rate at which theconcrete loses thermal…
A pipe with an outside diameter of 3.5 in. is insulated with a 3 in. layer of asbestos (ka=0.396 BTU-in/hr- ft2 - 0 F), followed by a layer of cork 1.5 in. thick (kc=0.30 BTU-in/hr-ft2 - 0 F). If the temperature of the outer surface of the cork and pipe is 1000 F and 3000 F, respectively, calculate the heat lost per 100ft or insulated pipe.
The inside surface temperature of a glass oven door (0.5 m x 0.5 m x 0.001 m) is 180°C, the outside surface temperature is 25°C, and the thermal conductivity of glass is 1.4 W/(m•K) What is the rate of heat transfer?
Thermal energy of a substance is the sum of the potential energy and kinetic energy of the particles that make it up. Let’s say you had a hot cup of water and a cold cup of water, and then mixed them. Illustrate the behavior of the particles before and after thermal equilibrium is reached.
Presents the diagram of the problem, necessary formulas, clearance and numerical solution: An iron plate 2 cm thick has a cross-sectional area of 5,000 cm2. One of the faces is at 150 ◦C and the other is at 140 ◦C. How much heat flows through the plate each second? For iron, kT = 80 W/m K.
The mass of water in a single popcorn kernel was found to be 0.905 grams after it popped at a temperature of 175 °C. Using the information given in the Introduction, calculate the amount of heat in kilojoules required to pop this single kernel if the room temperature was recorded to be 21.0 °C.
As he rides the train to work on a - 4ºC winter day, Mr. Trump notices that he can hear the click ofthe train going over the spaces between the rails. Six months later, on a 30ºC summer day, the railsare pushed together and he hears no clicks. If the rails are 5 meters long when the temperature is30ºC, how large a gap is left between the steel rails (α steel = 1.2 x 10 - 5 ºC -1 ) on the cold winter day?
To ensure a tight fit, the aluminum rivet used in airplane construction are made slightly larger than the rivet holes and cooled by dry ice (solid CO2) before being driven. If the diameter of a hole is 0.500 cm, what should be the diameter of a rive at 20 degree Celsius if its diameter is equal that of a hole when the rivet is cooled to -78 degree Celsius, the temperature of dry ice? Assume the coefficient of expansion to remain constant. (Given and solutions)
After the sinking of RMS Titanic, US operated the International Ice patrol with the purpose of monitoring the presence and movements of icebergs in the Atlantic and Arctic oceans. Once, they observed a unique tabular iceberg in a form of a rectangle (250 km x 50 km x 300 m). How many years would it take to melt the iceberg solely by heat from the sun if the ice absorbs a mean of 98 J/m2 -s, 12.5 hrs per day? Note: the exposed area for heating is 250 km x 50 km and the density is 920 kg/m3 . This is my solution.
Consider the vertical heat sink (see the figure) used to cool a surface at 70 0C. The room temperature is 30 0C. The dimensions are given as (H=2 cm, L=5 cm, t=1 mm, W=15 cm). If the space between the fins is arranged so that the heat transfer rate is maximum, what is the heat transfer rate from the heat sink? Properties of air: ρ=1 kg/m3, k=0.03 W/mK, ν=1.5x10-5 m2/s, cp=1 kJ/kg0C, Pr=0.7
