A hollow aluminum sphere, with an electrical heater in the center, is used in tests to determine the thermal conductivity of insulating materials. The inner and outer radii of the sphere are o.18 and o.21 m, respectively, and testing is done under steady-state conditions with the inner surface of the aluminum maintained at 250°C. In a particular test, a spherical shell of insulation is cast on the outer surface of the sphere to a thickness of o.15 m. The system is in a room for which the air temperature is 20°C and the convection coefficient at the outer surface of the insulation is 30 W/m2. K. If 80 W is dissipated by the heater under steady-state conditions, what is the thermal conductivity of the insulation?
As part of your work-study program at HTU, you successfully got a student job at your local ‘BEST-BURGER-IN-TOWN’ to help pay your own tuition and expenses. Since cylindrical frozen burger patties are cooked when placed on a hot stainless-steel cooking top, you like to think of the case as a conduction problem:a. Write down the appropriate general heat conduction equation that describes the cooking of those beef patties.b. Clearly state all assumptions.c. After cancelling the proper terms, write down the final energy equation for the patties.Do not solve for temperature distribution or heat transfer.
What is the analogical reason between heat transfer by conduction and flow of electricity through ohmic resistance? Use a composite wall of a building to illustrate the concept. A composite slab with three layers of thermal conductivities k1, k2, k3 and thickness ti, t2, të respectively, are placed in a close contact. Derive an expression from the first principle for the heat flow through the composite slab per unit surface area in terms of the overall temperature difference across the slab.

- It is designed in such a way that the internal temperature of a commercial heat treatment furnace can reach up to 165 oC. All surfaces of the furnace consist of firebrick (10 cm), insulation material and sheet metal (3mm) from the inside out. Given that the outdoor temperature is 22 oC, the outer sheet will be allowed to go up to 35 oC, which is a temperature that will not be disturbed by hand contact.
