Chapter 3, Problem 3.132P
Thermal energy storage systems commonly involve a packed bed of solid spheres, through which a hot gas flows if the system is being charged, or a cold gas if it is being discharged. In a charging process, heat transfer from the hot gas increases thermal energy stored within the colder spheres: during discharge, the stored energy decreases as heat is transferred from the warmer spheres to the cooler gas.
Consider a packed bed of 75-mm-diameter aluminum spheres

How long should it take to boil an egg? Model the egg as a sphere with radius of 2.3 cm that has properties similar to water with a density of = 1000 kg/m3 and thermal conductivity of k = 0.606 Watts/(mC) and specific heat of c = 4182 J/(kg C). Suppose that an egg is fully cooked when the temperature at the center reaches 70 C. Initially the egg is taken out of the fridge at 4 C and placed in the boiling water at 100 C. Since the egg shell is very thin assume that it quickly reaches a temperature of 100 C. The protein in the egg effectively immobilizes the water so the heat conduction is purely conduction (no convection). Plot the temperature of the egg over time and use the data tooltip in MATLAB to make your conclusion on the time it takes to cook the egg in minutes.
A mass of 300kg of oil is cooled in 1 hour from 70 celcius to 35 celcius in a cooler consisting of a bank of tubes through which hot oil passes. Cooling water circulates around the outside of the tubes. Calculate the mass of cooling water required per hour if the water temp increases by 21 degrees celcius .
Specific Heat of Oil - 2.0 kJ/kg deg C
Specific Heat of Water - 4.186 kJ/kg deg C
In a cylindrical fuel element for a gas-cooled nuclear reactor, the heat generation rate within the fuel element due to fission can be approximated by the relation: g(r) = g_0 [1 - (r/b)^2] W/m^3 where b is the radius of the fuel element and g_0 is constant. The boundary surface at r = b is maintained at a uniform temperature T_0. Assuming one-dimensional, steady-state heat flow, develop a relation for the temperature drop from the centerline to the surface of the fuel element. For radius b = 2 cm, the thermal conductivity k = 10 W/m middot K and g_0 = 2 times 10^7 W/m^3, calculate the temperature drop from the centerline to the surface.

In an industrial boiler, MSW is burned to heat and pressurize 1 kg/s of preheated water to high-pressure steam (44 atm, 450 °C). The high-pressure steam, moving at a linear velocity of 70 m/s, is then used to drive a high-pressure turbine. In a heat exchanger, the used steam from the outlet of high-P turbine at an intermediate pressure (10 atm, 250 °C) is used to preheat the water that will be fed to the boiler. This water is pumped from an underground reservoir at a low velocity (1 atm, 25 °C). After preheating the water, the intermediate-pressure steam leaving the heat exchanger is then used to drive a low-pressure turbine. Lastly, the steam from outlet of the low-P turbine leaves at a velocity of 10 m/s (at 1 atm and 100 °C) via an exhaust 10 m above the pump inlet.
