Textbook Question

Chapter 3, Problem 3.53P

A wire of diameter D = 2 mm and uniform temperatureT has an electrical resistance of 0 .01 Ω / m and a currentflow of 20 A.

What is the rate at which heat is dissipated per unitlength of wire? What is the heat dissipation perunit volume within the wire?
If the wire is not insulated and is in ambient airand large surroundings for which T ∞ = T sur = 20 ° C, what is the temperature T of the wire? Thewire has an emissivity of 0.3, and the coefficientassociated with heat transfer by natural convectionmay be approximated by an expression of theform, h = C T − T ∞ / D 1 / 4 , where C = 1.25 W/m 7 / 4 ⋅ K 5/4 . If the wire is coated with plastic insulation of 2-mmthickness and a thermal conductivity of 0.25 W / m ⋅ K , what are the inner and outer surface temperatures ofthe insulation? The insulation has an emissivity of0.9, and the convection coefficient is given by theexpression of part (b). Explore the effect of the insulationthickness on the surface temperatures.

Heat Transfer with a Liquid Metal. The liquid metal bismuth at a flow rate of 2.00 kg/s enters a tube having an inside diameter of 35 mm at 425°C and is heated to 430°C in the tube. The tube wall is maintained at a temperature of 25°C above the liquid bulk temperature. Calculate the tube length required. The physical properties are as follows (H1): k = 15.6 W/m K, c,=149 J/kg K, u = 1.34 x 10-3 Pa s.

A thick-walled cylindrical tubing of hard rubber (k=0.151 W/m*K) having an inside radius of 5 mm and an outside radius of 20 mm is being used as a temporary cooling coil in a bath. Ice water is flowing rapidly inside, and the inside wall temperature is 275 K. The outside surface temperature is 300 K. A total of 20 W must be removed from the bath by the cooling coil. How many meter of tubing are needed?

Superheated steam at 575ºC is routed from a boiler to the turbine of an electric power plant through steel tubes (k = 35 W/m K) of 300 mm inner diameter and 30 mm wall thickness. To reduce heat loss to the surroundings and to maintain a safe-to-touch outer surface temperature, a layer of calcium silicate insulation (k = 0.10 W/m K) is applied to the tubes, while degradation of the insulation is reduced by degradation of the insulation is reduced by wrapping it in a thin sheet of aluminium having an emissivity of ε= 0.20. The air and wall temperatures of the power plant are 27ºC. Assume that the inner surface temperature of a steel tube corresponds to that of the steam and the convection coefficient outside the aluminium sheet is 6 W/m2 K, (a) What is the minimum insulation thickness needed to ensure that the temperature of the aluminium does not exceed 50ºC? (b) What is the corresponding heat loss per unit meter?
