Two large steel plates at temperature of 90°C and
70°C are separated by a steel rod 2.5 cm diameter
and 0.25 m long. The rod is welded to each plate.
The space between the plates is filled with insulation
which also insulates the circumference of the rod.
Because of voltage difference between the two plates
current flows through the rod and the electrical
energy is dissipated at a rate of 10 W. Determine
the maximum temperature in the rod and the heat
flux at each end. Proceed to compare the net heat
flow rate of the two ends with the total rate of
heat generation.
Thermal conductivity for the rod material is
42.5 W/m-deg.
Determine the ratio of thermal conductivity for N2 at sea level (T = 300 K, P = 1 atm) versusthe lower stratosphere (T = 230 K, P = 0.25 atm).
It is designed in such a way that the internal temperature of a commercial heat treatment furnace can reach up to 165 oC. All surfaces of the furnace consist of firebrick (10 cm), insulation material and sheet metal (3mm) from the inside out. Given that the outdoor temperature is 22 oC, the outer sheet will be allowed to go up to 35 oC, which is a temperature that will not be disturbed by hand contact. In this case, determine the insulation material thickness to be used. Insulation material thermal conductivity coefficient is 0.066 insulation W / m oC, 60 W / m oC for sheet metal and 115 W / m oC for firebrick. Indoor heat transfer coefficient will be accepted as 25 W / m2 oC and 12 W / m2 oC for outdoor environment.
