Heat is transferred at a rate of 0.1 kW through glass wool insulation (density=100kg/m3) with a 5-cm thickness and 2-m2 area. If the hot surface is at 70C, determine the temperature of the cooler surface.
A cooling system is to be designed for a food storage warehouse for keeping perishable foods cool prior to transportation to grocery stores. The warehouse has an effective surface area of 1860 m2 exposed to an ambient air temperature of 32C. The warehouse wall insulation (k=0.17W/(mK)) is 7.5 cm thick. Determine the rate at which heat must be removed (W) from the warehouse to maintain the food at 4C.

If each heater dissipates 500 W, what is the time required for bringing the water temperature in the tank to 340 K? State your assumption for your analysis.
Question 2 Consider a 1.5-m-high electric hot-water heater that has a diameter of 40 cm and maintains the hot water at 60 °C. The tank is located in a small room whose average temperature is 27 °C, and the heat transfer coefficients on the inner and outer surfaces of the heater are 50 and 12 W/m2⋅K, respectively. The tank is placed in another 46-cm-diameter sheet metal tank of negligible thickness, and the space between the two tanks is filled with foam insulation (k = 0.03 W/m⋅K). The thermal resistances of the water tank and the outer thin sheet metal shell are very small and can be neglected. The price of electricity is $0.08/kWh, and the homeowner pays $280 a year for water heating. Determine the fraction of the hot-water energy cost (in %) of this household that is due to the heat loss from the tank. Heat transfers through the top and bottom of the tank are negligible.

A 2-m x 1.8-m section of wall of an industrial furnace burning natural gas is not insulated, and the temperature at the outer surface of this section is measured to be 80°C. The temperature of the furnace room is 30°C, and the combined convection and radiation heat transfer coefficient at the surface of the outer furnace is 10 W/m² • °C. It is proposed to insulate this section of the furnace wall with expanded perlite insulation (k = 0.052 W/m • °C) in order to reduce the heat loss by 90%. Assuming the outer surface temperature of the metal section still remains at about 80°C, determine the thickness of the insulation that needs to be used. ANSWER:_______cm

Electrical measurements indicate that a current of 13 A passes through the wire and there is a voltage drop of 8 V along the wire. If the insulated wire is exposed to a medium at T∞ = 19°C with a heat transfer coefficient of h = 20 W/m2·K, determine the temperature at the interface of the wire and the plastic cover in steady operation. Also determine if doubling the thickness of the plastic cover will increase or decrease this interface temperature.
