    The document describes a model for one-dimensional heat transfer into a solid wall with a thermal board protecting concrete tunnel lining during a fire. It provides material properties and asks the student to: 1) Derive a radiation boundary condition equation, check units, and implement it in the model. 2) Report interface temperatures before and after implementing radiation to assess its impact. 3) Consider increasing board thickness if interface temperatures suggest it, and report the new temperature with reduced board conductivity. 4) Derive an improved expression using linear extrapolation to estimate wall temperature from the first two nodes.

    Assignment 1 1D Transient Heat Conduction

    National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 502 defines the temperature criteria for protection
    of structural elements for a two-hour long fire exposure of a tunnel wall to the RWS fire curve; refer to
    Figure 1 and Figure 2 respectively.

    Assignment 1 1D Transient Heat Conduction

    For a concrete lined tunnel, a thermal board is sometimes applied to the exposed surface of the concrete
    to provide protection to the structure to meet the temperature requirements of NFPA 502.

    Typical thermal board properties are as follows:

     Thermal conductivity, k = 0.21 W/m-K


     Heat capacity, Cp = 1100 J/kg-K
     Density = 900 kg/m3

    Typical concrete properties are as follows:

     Thermal conductivity, k = 1.2 W/m-K


     Heat capacity, Cp = 1200 J/kg-K
     Density = 2000 kg/m3

    The board thickness, in practical applications, is usually 25 mm. A model for one-dimensional heat transfer
    into the solid has been developed to help assess fire protection requirements (refer to calculation file
    CFD-01-11 for the model).

    The model implements a convective boundary condition at the wall with a 25 mm board protecting the
    concrete. Refer to Attachment A and the spreadsheet CFD-01-11 columns B, C and D (cells B32:D3632) for
    the boundary condition implementation.

    For this assignment, derive implementation of different boundary conditions and implement analysis as
    described below:

    1. Derive the implementation of a radiation boundary condition at the exposed face (i.e. face
    exposed to the fire). Submit working and provide references to starting equations used. Use
    diagrams to describe nomenclature. As part of the derivation provide a check of units to ensure
    equation is correct.
    2. Implement the radiation boundary condition (emissivity = 0.8) into the model; report temperature
    at the board-concrete interface (i.e. 25 mm into the solid) at 3600 s and 7200 s, before and after
    the radiation boundary implementation. Comment on the impact of the change in results (does
    temperature increase or decrease and why).
    3. Considering results from question 2; do the results (with radiation heat transfer included) suggest
    (based on temperature at the concrete-board interface, maximum 380⁰C) an increase in board
    thickness is needed; and what is the interface temperature (at 25 mm) after 2 hours if the board
    conductivity is reduced to 0.1 W/m-K (keeping everything else the same from question 2 above)?
    4. In the spreadsheet the wall temperature at the exposed face is estimated based on the
    temperature at the first node in from the wall. See Attachment B. Improve this approximation by
    using linear extrapolation from nodes 1 and 2. Provide the derivation of this new expression for
    wall temperature. Submit working and provide references to starting equations used. Use
    diagrams to describe nomenclature.
