wide, and 0.25 m thick, and is made of a flat layer of concrete whose
thermal conductivity is k 0.8 W/m.°C (Figure. 1-3). The temperatures
of the inner and the outer surfaces of the roof one night are measured to
be 15°C and 4°C, respectively, for a period of 10 hours. Determine the

- 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.arrow_forwardExplore the effect of insulation thickness on the heat loss q and the temperature of the insulation outer surface T2 for a steam pipe of 0.05-m outside diameter that is insulated with a layer of calcium silicate.
