Heat sterilization of lumber, timbers, and pallets is used to kill insects to prevent their transfer between countries in international trade. This is analogous to food sterilization by heat. A typical requirement here is that the slowest heating point of any woodconfiguration be held at 56 °C for 30 minutes. Consider hot air heating of wooden boards that maintains their surface temperature at 70 °C. The boards are stacked outside and in the winter time they can be considered to be at 0 °Cwhen theyare brought in for heating. The thermal diffusivity of the wood is 9*10-8m2/s.
a.Calculate the time from the start of heating for a 2.5 cm thick board to reach a sterilization temperature of 56 °C at its slowest heating point
.b.Calculate the heating time when four such boards are stacked together.
c.Calculate the ratio of the two heating times (for a single board versus when they are stacked), and explain the ratio.

Recent studies show that the major energy consumption
in Fijian villages is wood which is used
for cooking on open fires. Typical consumption of wood
is 1 kg/person/day. (a) Estimate the heat
energy required to boil a 2 litre pot full of water.
Assuming this to be the cooking requirement of
each
person, compare this with the heat content of the
wood, and thus estimate the thermal
efficiency of the open fire. (b) How much timber has to
be felled each year to cook for a village
of 200 people ? Assuming systematic replanting, what
area of crop must the village therefore
set aside for fuel use if it is not to make a net
deforestation ?

In one such case, this element is modelled as a long, cylindrical electrically heated rod, 20 mm in diameter installed in a vacuum furnace as shown. The surface of the heating rod has an emissivity of 0.9 and is maintained at 1000 K, while the interior walls of the furnace are black and are at 800 K.
