Radioactive wastes are packed in a thin-walled spherical container. The wastes generate thermal energy nonuniformly according to the relation ġ = ġ, 1-(r/r.)* | where ġ is the local rate of energy generation per unit volume, ġ, is a constant, and r, is the radius of the container. Steady- state conditions are maintained by submerging the container in a liquid that is at T̟ and provides a uniform convection coefficient h.

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?

1. Humans are able to control their rates of heat production and heat loss to maintain a nearly constant core temperature of Te = 37°C under a wide range of environmental conditions. This process is called thermoregulation. From the perspective of calculating heat transfer between a human body and its surroundings, we focus on a layer of skin: fat, with its outer surface exposed to the environment and its inner surface at a temperature slightly less than the core temperature, T = 35°C = 308 K. Consider a person with a skin/fat layer of thickness L = mm and effective thermal conductivity k = 0.3 "- The person has a surface area A = 1.8 m? and is dressed in a bathing suit. The m· K emissivity of the skin is ɛ = 0.95. a). When the person is in still air at T = 282 K, what is the skin surface temperature and rate of heat loss to the environment?

Heat Transfer question In order to cool down a hot steel sphere (its diameter is 5 cm), CO2 gas is blown over it through a pipe with a diameter of 10 cm. The CO2 gas is kept at atmospheric pressure while moving through a smooth pipe at a speed of 6 m/sec. The gas temperature entering the pipe is 300K and exiting the pipe is 340 K. The pipe temperature at the entrance is 350K and at the exit is 550K. The sphere is located just about the pipe exit. Find the convective heat transfer coefficient of the gas moving in the pipe, the heat transfer rate at the pipe and the pipe length. What is the surface temperature of the sphere if the heat transfer rate between the sphere and the gas is 7W and its surface temperature is higher than the gas?
