An aluminum rod 0.500 m in length and with a cross-sectional area of 2.50 cm2 is inserted into a thermally insulated vessel containing liquid helium at 4.20 K. The rod is initially at 300 K. (a) If one-half of the rod is inserted into the helium, how many liters of helium boil off by the time the inserted half cools to 4.20 K? Assume the upper half does not yet cool. (b) If the circular surface of the upper end of the rod is maintained at 300 K, what is the approximate boil-off rate of liquid helium in liters per second after the lower half has reached 4.20 K? (Aluminum has thermal conductivity of 3 100 W/m K at 4.20 K; ignore its temperature variation. The density of liquid helium is 125 kg/m3.)

Solar radiation is incident on a 5 m2 solar absorberplate surface at a rate of 800 W/m2. Ninety-three percent ofthe solar radiation is absorbed by the absorber plate, whilethe remaining 7 percent is reflected away. The solar absorberplate has a surface temperature of 40°C with an emissivityof 0.9 that experiences radiation exchange with the surroundingtemperature of -5°C. In addition, convective heat transferoccurs between the absorber plate surface and the ambientair of 20°C with a convection heat transfer coefficient of7 W/m2∙K. Determine the efficiency of the solar absorber,which is defined as the ratio of the usable heat collected bythe absorber to the incident solar radiation on the absorber.

A 2-m * 1.5-m section of wall of an industrial furnaceburning natural gas is not insulated, and the temperatureat the outer surface of this section is measured to be 80°C.The temperature of the furnace room is 30°C, and the combinedconvection and radiation heat transfer coefficient at thesurface of the outer furnace is 10 W/m2·K. It is proposed toinsulate this section of the furnace wall with glass wool insulation(k = 0.038 W/m·K) in order to reduce the heat lossby 90 percent. Assuming the outer surface temperature ofthe metal section still remains at about 110°C, determine thethickness of the insulation that needs to be used.The furnace operates continuously and has an efficiency of78 percent. The price of the natural gas is $1.10/therm (1 therm =105,500 kJ of energy content). If the installation of the insulationwill cost $250 for materials and labor, determine how long it willtake for the insulation to pay for itself from the energy it saves.
