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.
