Q1 a) The hot combustion gases of a furnace are separated from the ambient air and its surroundings, which are at 25°C, by a brick wall 0.15 m thick (Figure la). The brick has a thermal conductivity of 1.2 W/m K and a surface emissivity of 0.8. Under steady-state conditions an outer surface temperature of 100°C is measured. Free convection heat transfer to the air adjoining the surface is characterized by a convection coefficient of h = 20 W/m2.K. What is the brick inner surface temperature?

1.63 Liquid oxygen (LOX) for the space shuttle is stored at 90 K prior to launch in a spherical container 4 m in diameter. To reduce the loss of oxygen, the sphere is insulated with superinsulation developed at the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology's Cryogenic Division; the superinsulation has an effective thermal conductivity of 0.00012 W/m K. If the outside temperature is on the average and the LOX has a heat of vaporization of 213 J/g, calculate the thickness of insulation required to keep the LOX evaporation rate below 200 g/h.
1.15 A thermocouple (0.8-mm-diameter wire) used to measure the temperature of the quiescent gas in a furnace gives a reading of . It is known, however, that the rate of radiant heat flow per meter length from the hotter furnace walls to the thermocouple wire is 1.1 W/m and the convection heat transfer coefficient between the wire and the gas is K. With this information, estimate the true gas temperature. State your assumptions and indicate the equations used.
1.4 To measure thermal conductivity, two similar 1-cm-thick specimens are placed in the apparatus shown in the accompanying sketch. Electric current is supplied to the guard heater, and a wattmeter shows that the power dissipation is 10 W.

A 0.6-cm diameter mild steel rod at 38C is suddenly immersed in a liquid at 93C with hc=110W/m2K. Determine the time required for the rod to warm to 88C.
One end of a 0.3-m-long steel rod is connected to a wall at 204C. The other end is connected to a wall that is maintained at 93C. Air is blown across the rod so that a heat transfer coefficient of 17W/m2 K is maintained over the entire surface. If the diameter of the rod is 5 cm and the temperature of the air is 38C, what is the net rate of heat loss to the air?
1.3 A furnace wall is to be constructed of brick having standard dimensions of Two kinds of material are available. One has a maximum usable temperature of 1040°C and a thermal conductivity of 1.7 W/(m K), and the other has a maximum temperature limit of 870°C and a thermal conductivity of 0.85 W/(m K). The bricks have the same cost and are laid in any manner, but we wish to design the most economical wall for a furnace with a temperature of 1040°C on the hot side and 200°C on the cold side. If the maximum amount of heat transfer permissible is 950 , determine the most economical arrangement using the available bricks.
A cylindrical liquid oxygen (LOX) tank has a diameter of 1.22 m, a length of 6.1 m, and hemispherical ends. The boiling point of LOX is -179.4C. An insulation is sought that will reduce the boil-off rate in the steady state to no more than 11.3 kg/h. The heat of vaporization of LOX is 214 kJ/kg. If the thickness of this insulation is to be no more than 7.5 cm, what would the value of its thermal conductivity have to be?

Let's say a 3.0 gram copper wafer is dropped from a height of 50.0 meters. If 60% of the potential energy lost in the drop could be converted to thermal energy used to heat the copper from an initial temperature of 25 degrees celsius, what would the final temperature of the copper wafer? Would the answer be different if the wafer has a mass greater than 3 grams? Note: the specific heat of copper is 387 J/(kg*K). The temperature is between 25.8 and 26.0 degrees celsius, yes the bigger the mass the greater the energy. O The temperature is between 25.6 and 25.8 celsius, answer does not depend on mass. O The temperature is between 25.0 and 25.2 celsius, answer does not depend on mass. O The temperature is 25.5 and of course the more mass something has the greater energy will be needed to raise the temperature. The temperature is 26.2 and if the mass is doubled so will be the change in temperature. O The temperature is 25.9 degrees celsius and the answer does not depend on mass. O The…

After the sinking of RMS Titanic, US operated the International Ice patrol with the purpose of monitoring the presence and movements of icebergs in the Atlantic and Arctic oceans. Once, they observed a unique tabular iceberg in a form of a rectangle (250 km x 50 km x 300 m). The sun is the only source of heat and the ice absorbs a mean of 98 J/m2-s, 12.5 hrs per day. The exposed area for heating is 250 km x 50 km and the density is 920 kg/m3. What is the total mass of the iceberg? Express answer in kg and in scientific notation with two decimal places.
