How does the conduction of heat occur in a solid material, and what factors influence the rate of heat transfer through conduction?
Consider a short cylinder whose top and bottom surfaces are insulated. The cylinder is initially at a uniform temperature Ti and is subjected to convection from its side surface to a medium at temperature T` with a heat transfer coefficient of h. Is the heat transfer in this short cylinder one- or twodimensional? Explain.
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.
