    Seminar 2

    - Problema 1 -

    A freezer compartment consists of a cubical cavity that is 2 m on a side.


    Assume the bottom to be perfectly insulated. What is the minimum
    thickness of Styrofoam insulation (k = 0.03 W/m∙K) that must be
    applied to the top and side walls to ensure a heat load of less than 500
    W, when the inner and outer surfaces are -10 °C and 35 °C?
    Seminar 2
    - Problema 2 -

    An inexpensive food and beverage container is fabricated from 25-mm-thick


    polystyrene (k = 0.023 W/m∙K) and has interior dimensions of 0.8 m × 0.6 m ×
    0.6 m. Under conditions for which an inner surface temperature of
    approximately 2°C is maintained by an ice-water mixture and an outer surface
    temperature of 20°C is maintained by the ambient, what is the heat flux
    through the container wall? Assuming negligible heat gain through the 0.8 m ×
    0.6 m base of the cooler, what is the total heat load for the prescribed
    conditions?
    Seminar 2
    - Problema 3 -

    What is the thickness required for a masonry wall having thermal


    conductivity of 0.75 W/m∙K if the heat flux is to be 80 % of the heat
    flux through a composite wall having a thermal conductivity of 0.25
    W/m∙K and a thickness of 100 mm? Both walls are subjected to the
    same surface temperature difference.
    Seminar 2
    - Problema 4 -

    A 5-mm thick bottom of a 200-mm diameter pan may be made from


    aluminium (k=240 W/m∙K) or copper (k=390 W/m∙K). When used to
    boil water, the surface of the bottom exposed to the water is nominally at
    110ºC. If heat is transferred from the stove to the pan at a rate of 600 W,
    what is the temperature of the surface in contact with the stove for each
    of the two materials?
    Seminar 2
    - Problema 5 -

    Assume steady-state, one-dimensional heat conduction through the symmetric


    shape shown.

    Assuming that there is no internal heat generation, derive an expression for the
    thermal conductivity k(x) for these conditions: A(x) = (1-x), T(x) = 300(1-2x-x 3),
    and qV=6000 W, where A is in square meters, T in Kelvins, and x in meters.
    Seminar 2
    - Problema 6 -

    To determine the effect of the temperature dependence of the thermal conductivity


    on the temperature distribution in a solid, consider a material for which this
    dependence may be represented as: k = k0 + aT, where k0 is a positive constant and a
    is a coefficient that may be positive or negative. Sketch the steady-state temperature
    distribution associated with heat transfer in a plane wall for three cases
    corresponding to a>0, a=0, and a<0.
    Seminar 2
    - Problema 7 -

    Consider steady-state conditions for one-dimensional conduction in a plane wall


    having a thermal conductivity k = 50W/m∙K and a thickness L = 0.25 m, with no
    internal heat generation.

    Determine the heat flux and the unknown quantity for each case and sketch the
    temperature distribution, indicating the direction of the heat flux.

    - Problema 8 -

    Consider a plane wall 100 mm thick and of thermal conductivity 100 W/m∙K.
    Steady-state conditions are known to exist with T1 = 400 K and T2 = 600 K.
    Determine the heat flux q and the temperature gradient dT/dx for the coordinate
    systems shown.

    - Problema 9 -

    Sections of a pipeline run above the ground and are supported by vertical steel shafts (k = 25 W/m∙K)
    that are 1 m long and have a cross-sectional area of 0.005 m 2. Under normal operating conditions the
    temperature variation along the length of a shaft in known to be governed by an expression of the
    form:

    T = 100 - 150x + 10x2

    where T and x have units of °C and meters, respectively. Temperature variations are small over the
    shaft cross-section. Evaluate the temperature and conduction heat rate at the shaft-pipeline interface
    (x = 0) and at the shaft-ground interface (x = 1 m). Explain the difference in heat rates.
