Question
A steel pipe with 5-cm OD is covered with a 6.4-mm asbestos insulation
[k = 0.096 Btu/h · ft · ◦F] followed by a 2.5-cm layer of fiberglass insulation
[k = 0.028 Btu/h · ft · ◦F]. The pipe-wall temperature is 315◦C, and the outside insulation temperature is 38◦C. Calculate the interface temperature between the asbestos
and fiberglass

- The exhaust duct from a heater has an inside diameter of 114.3 mm with ceramic walls 6.4 mm thick. The average k=1.52 W/m· K. Outside this wall, an insulation or rock wool 102 mm thick is installed. The thermal conductivity of the rock wool is k= 0.046+ 1.56 x 104 T°C (W/m · K). The inside surface * = temperature of the ceramic is T1 = 588.7 K, and the outside surface temperature of the insulation is 311 K. Calculate the heat loss for 1.5 m of duct and the interface temperature T2 between the ceramic and the insulation. [Hint: The correct value of km for the insulation is that evaluated at the mean temperature of (T2 + T3)/2. Hence, for the first trial assume a mean temperature of, say, 448 K. Then calculate the heat loss and T2 Using this new T2, calculate a new mean temperature and proceed as before.]arrow_forwardExample • The cylinder is made from aluminum with diameter and thickness of 5 cm and 1 cm respectively. The wall temperature in the inside of cylinder is 50°C, while the temperature of the air is 30°C. the coefficient of convection in the air is 10 W/m2-C. Calculate the heat loss from the cylinder per unit length! • Calculate the thickness of the insulation so heat loss from cylinder will decrease 50% of initial condition.

- An industrial cold room has four 200 mm thick walls made of concrete. The walls are insulated on the outside with a layer of foam 60 mm thick. Cladding with a thickness of 15 mm protects the foam on the outside from the elements. The composite wall surface temperatures are –3 °C on the inside and 18 °C on the outside of the room respectively. The thermal conductivities of concrete, foam and cladding are 0.75, 0.35 and 0.5 W/m K respectively. a) Assuming perfect thermal contact between the layers of the composite walls, draw the typical temperature distribution across the layers and determine the heat energy gained per hour through all 4 walls of the room with a total surface area of 20 m2 . What does this heat energy represent in terms of the refrigeration system of the cold room?arrow_forwardIn a multi-layered square wall, the thermal resistance of the first layer is 0.005 ° C / W, the resistance of the second layer is 0.4 ° C / W, and the third layer is 0.1 ° C / W.
