- 1.39 On a cold winter day, the outside wall of a home is exposed to an air temperature of when the inside temperature of the room is at . As a result of this temperature gradient, there is heat loss through the wall to the outside. Consider the convective heat transfer coefficients for the air inside the room and at the outside wall surface to be, respectively, 12.0 and . If the composite room wall is modeled as a plane wall with a thermal resistance per unit area of , determine the temperature at the outer surface of the wall as well as the rate of heat flow through the wall per unit area. If the homeowner were to consider using a fiberglass insulation layer on the inside wall surface for reducing this heat loss by 50%, what is the required thickness of this layer and the outside wall temperature for this case?arrow_forwardWhat is a semi-infinite medium? Give examples of solid bodies that can be treated as semi-infinite mediums for heat transfer purposes.arrow_forwardThe boiling temperature of oxygen at atmospheric pressure at sea level (1 atm) is -183ºC. Therefore, oxygen is used in low temperature scientific studies since the temperature of liquid oxygen in a tank open to the atmosphere remains constant at -183ºC until the liquid oxygen in the tank is depleted. Any heat transfer to the tank results in the evaporation of some liquid oxygen, which has a heat of vaporization of 213 kJ/kg and a density of 1140 kg/m3at 1 atm. Consider a 4 m diameter spherical tank initially filled with liquid oxygen at 1 atm and -183ºC. The tank is exosed to 20ºC ambient ait with a heat transfer coefficient of 25 W/m2. ºC. The temperature of the thin-shelled spherical tank is observed to be almost the same as the temperature of the oxygen inside. Disregarding any radiation heat exchange, determine the rate of evaporation of the liquid oxygen in the tank as a result of the heat transfer from the ambient airarrow_forward
