The interior of a refrigerator whose dimensions are 0.05 x 0.05 dam base area and 1.25 m high, must be kept at 4 °C. The refrigerator walls are constructed of two steel sheets (k= 35 kcal/h.m.°C) 3 mm thick, with 65 mm of material insulation (k=0.213 kcal/h.m.°C) between them. The film coefficient of the inner surface is 10 kcal/h.m².°C, while on the external surface it varies from 8 to 12.5 kcal/h.m².°C. Calculate: a) The power (in HP) of the refrigerator motor so that the heat flux removed from the inside the refrigerator maintain the specified temperature, in a kitchen whose temperature can vary from 21 to 36 °C; b) The temperatures of the inner and outer surfaces of the wall. Given 1 HP = 641.2 Kcal/h
1. Saturated steam at 500 K flows in a 0.20 m inside diameter, 0.21 m outside
diameter pipe. The pipe is covered with 0.075 m of insulation with a thermal
conductivity of 0.10 W/m-K. The pipe's conductivity is 52 W/m-K. The ambient
temperature is 300 K. The unit convective coefficients are hi = 18,000 W/m²-K and
ho 12 W/m²-K. Determine the heat loss (kJ/min) from 5 m of pipe.
A thermocouple is initially at temperature of T; and it is used to measure the temperature of
air (Tair). It would take a while for the temperature of the thermocouple junction to approach Tair. The
thermocouple junction can be approximated by a copper sphere of 0.5 mm in diameter. Using the lumped
system analysis (chapter 5, undergraduate heat transfer textbook), derive an expression for T(t) (it should
look like: (T(t)-Tair )/(Ti-Tair) = e, where T; is the initial temperature of the thermocouple, and Tair is the
air temperature). Calculate the time constant 7 (assuming the convection heat transfer coefficient h=5
W/m²K). Use the thermal properties of copper from your undergraduate textbook or any other books.
Usually t=3t is used as the response time of the thermocouple with 5% measuring error. Explain why?
If the thermocouple size is increased to 5 mm in diameter, what is the response time?
