appendices of the textbook 1) Qualitatively draw the steady state temperature distribution in the composite wall consisting of three equally thick layers of three materials 1,2, and 3, where k1<k2<k3. The temperature on the one side (left hand side, of material 1) is Tl, the temperature on the other side (right hand side of material 3) is Th, where Th>Tl. 2) Qualitatively draw the steady state temperature distribution in the a composite tube made of a metal 1 on the inside and an insulation layer 2 on the outside, where k1>k2. The inner diameter is 1 (arbitrary units), the metal wall thickness is 0.2 (same units) and the insulation thickness is 1 (same units). The tube is used to transport a fluid that is much hotter than the surrounding air. 3) A 6 mm thick sheet of stainless steel initially uniformly at 700 C is hardened by dropping it into 20 C water. The heat transfer coefficient between the sheet and the water is 700 W/m2/K. Determine the time it takes for the center of the sheet to cool down to 100 C. The sheet is plane and large compared to its thickness. 4) Determine the overall thermal resistance for a house consisting of a 20 cm thick, 200 m2 brick wall, a 6 mm thick 20 m2 windows, and 100 m2 of an insulated flat roof consisting of a 10 cm thick layer of concrete, 5 cm of insulation material (k=0.8 W/m/K), and 3 mm of steel sheet metal (k=40 W/m/K). 5) Determine the temperature of the wall of a cast iron stove initially uniformly at 10 C, 2 mm from the walls inside surface 60 s after heating has started, if the stove heated such that the wall temperature is immediately fixed to 1000 C. Use the semi infinite wall approximation. Is the approximation justified? 6) A double layer window consists of two 5 mm thick glass layers with a 4 mm thick layer of air in between. The heat transfer coefficient on the inside of the window is 15 W/m2/K. The heat transfer coefficient on the outside of the window is 25 W/m2/K. The inside temperature is 21 C, the outside temperature is -5 C. Determine the temperature at the two inner glass surfaces. What is the heat loss per unit m2 of the window. 7) A steel (k=20 W/m/K) tube with 25 mm inner diameter and 3 mm wall thickness is insulated with a 20 mm thick polyurethane foam layer (k=0.5 W/m/K). A hot fluid at 150 C is transported through the pipe. The outside temperature is 10 C. The heat transfer coefficient between the hot fluid and the pipe is 500 W/m2/K, the heat transfer coefficient on the outside of the tube is 20 W/m2/K. Assuming steady state, determine the total thermal resistance per unit length of the tube. Determine the heat loss per unit length of the tube. Determine the temperature at the interface between the steel and the insulation. 8) A large plane plate of an arbitrary material is at temperature Th is dropped into a fluid at temperature Tl, where Th>Tl. For Bi<<1, Bi1, and Bi>>1, qualitatively draw the temperature distribution in plate for times t1, t2, and t3, where t1 is a very short time (Fo<<1) after the plate has been dropped, t2>t1 (Fo1), and t3>>t1 (Fo>>1). 9) A 1 cm diameter ball of massive copper, initially uniformly at 500 C is dropped into cold water at 4 C. The heat transfer coefficient between the ball and the water is 800 W/m2/K. Use the lumped capacitance methode to determine how long it takes for the ball to cool down to 6 C. Determine the Biot number to see if the lumped capacitance method is applicable. 10) A 2.5 mm diameter stainless steel wire is heated in air at 600 C by forced convection (heat transfer coefficient, h=75 W/m2/K). The rode is initially at 20 C. Use the lumped capacitance method to determine the temperature of the rod after 5 s, 50 s, and 500 s. Is the lumped capacitance method applicable?
