ASSIGNMENT 1 ( submission date :18.07.2011)

1. Obtain the general conduction equation in polar form 2. The roof of an electrically heated home is 6 m long, 8 m wide, and 0.25 m thick, and is made of a flat layer of concrete whose thermal conductivity is k =0.8 W/mC . The

temperatures of the inner and the outer surfaces of the roof one night are measured to be 15C and 4C, respectively, for a period of 10 hours. Determine (a) the rate of heat loss through the roof that night and (b) the cost of that heat loss to the home owner if the cost of electricity is Rs 3/kWh. 3. Water enters a 2.5 cm internal diameter thin copper tube of a heat exchanger at 15 0C at a rate of 0.3 kg/s, and is heated by steam condensing outside at 120 0C. If the average heat transfer coefficient is 800 W/m2 0C, determine the length of the tube required in order to heat the water to 1150C 4. Hot oil is to be cooled in a double-tube counter-flow heat exchanger. The copper inner tubes have a diameter of 2 cm and negligible thickness. The inner diameter of the outer tube (the shell) is 3 cm. Water flows through the tube at a rate of 0.5 kg/s, and the oil through the shell at a rate of 0.8 kg/s. Taking the average temperatures of the water and the oil to be 450C and 800C, respectively, determine the overall heat transfer coefficient of this heat exchanger.
