A plane wall of thickness 2L has internal heat sources whose strength varies according to qG=qocos(ax) Where qo is the heat generated per unit volume at the center of the wall (x=0) and a is a constant. If both sides of the wall are maintained at a constant temperature of Tw, derive an expression for the total heat loss from the wall per unit surface area.
1.63 Liquid oxygen (LOX) for the space shuttle is stored at 90 K prior to launch in a spherical container 4 m in diameter. To reduce the loss of oxygen, the sphere is insulated with superinsulation developed at the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology's Cryogenic Division; the superinsulation has an effective thermal conductivity of 0.00012 W/m K. If the outside temperature is on the average and the LOX has a heat of vaporization of 213 J/g, calculate the thickness of insulation required to keep the LOX evaporation rate below 200 g/h.

Q1 A field investigation of the thermal environment has been conducted for a room with an external wall facing east. The wall are made of 150 mm brick (k = 0.9 W/m°C) and 15 mm of plaster (k= 0.3 W/m°C) on both sides. The results are as shown in Figure Q1(a) and Figure Q1(b), representing the temporal wall surface temperature and indoor air temperature respectively. (i)Based on the graph in Figure Q1(a), analyze the value of the conductive heat flow (Q) for the wall at 11:00 a.m. and 15:00 p.m. and discuss ONE (1) potential cause of the difference. Given the value of external and internal surface resistance are 0.06 m2°C/W and 0.12 m2°C/W, respectively. Meanwhile, the area of the wall is 12m2 . (ii) Based on your reason in Q1(i), propose TWO (2) practicable strategies that can reduce the external wall surface temperature during that time. (iii) As shown in Figure Q1(b), the indoor air temperature of the room reached its peak (maximum temperature) at about 1.5 hours later than that of…

The wood has a thermal conductivity of 0.080 W/(m⋅K), and the Styrofoam has a thermal conductivity of 0.010 W/(m⋅K). The interior surface temperature is 19.0°C, and the exterior surface temperature is −10.0°C. (a) What is the temperature at the plane where the wood meets the Styrofoam? (b) What is the rate of heat flow per square meter through this wall?
A steel bar 7 cm long is welded end to end to a copper bar 21 cm long. Both bars are insulated perfectly on their sides. Each bar has a square cross-section 2.0 cm on a side. The free end of the steel bar is maintained at 100 deg C by placing it in contact with steam, and the free end of the copper bar is maintained at 0 deg C by placing it in contact with ice. Find the temperature (in deg C) at the junction of the two bars. kst = 50.2 W/m.K; kcu = 385 W/m.K Round your answer to 2 decimal places. (Topic: Heat Transfer, Waves, and Oscillations)
In a glass plant in Cavite, a furnace has fire-brick walls made up of the following two materials in series : Non-corrosive brick as inner layer (material 1) Clay brick as outer layer (material 2) Thickness 4.5 inches 8 inches Thermal conductivity k1 k2 The temperature inside the furnace (inside wall surface of the non-corrosive brick) is found to be 1105 oF while the outside temperature (outside wall surface of clay brick) is 365 oF. This is not the desired temperature inside the furnace so engineers thought of lagging the furnace walls with another material to reduce heat loss. The additional lagging material consists of magnesia layer which is 2 inches thick and has a thermal conductivity of 0.04 Btu /h.ft.oF. During a test run on the furnace with the magnesia lagging material now, new temperature readings were recorded : Point of measurement Temperature reading Inside furnace (inside wall surface of non-corrosive brick 1355 oF Interface between…
