#8.A spherical furnace has an inside radius of 1

m, and an outside radius of 1.2 m. The thermal conductivity of the wall is 0.5 W/mK. The inside furnace temperature is 1100oC and the outside surface is at 80oC.

a. Calculate the total heat loss for 24hrs operation.

b. What is the heat flux and temperature at a radius of 1.1 m?

Given: ri=1m ro=1.2m k=0.5 W/mK

a.

For spherical section:

Am = 4 π ri ro = 4 π (1) (1.2) = 15.079 m2

Δ x = ro – ri

= 1.2 – 1 = 0.2 m

q = 38451.534 W

b.

T’ = 543.70 oC

#16. (US) A large slab 1m thick is initially at a uniform

temperature of 150˚C. Suddenly its front face is exposed to a fluid maintained at 250 ˚C, but its rear face remained insulated. The fluid has a convective coefficient of 40W/m2•K. Assume the solid has a thermal diffusivity of 0.000025 m2/s and a thermal conductivity of 20W/m•K.

Using a numerical finite difference method with M=5 and 4 slices, construct a table for the temperature profile of the slab up to a time of 4000 sec.

Problem 5.3-6

A flat brick wall 1.0 ft thick is the lining on one side of a furnace. If the wall is at uniform temperature of 100°F and one side is suddenly exposed to a gas at 1100°F, calculate the time for the furnace wall at a point 0.5 ft from the surface to reach 500°F. The rear side of the wall is insulated. The convection coefficient is 2.6 btu/h-ft2-°F. The physical properties of the brick are k=0.65 btu/h-ft-°F and α=0.02 ft2/h.

Given:To= 100°FT1= 1100°Fh= 2.6 btu/h-ft2-°Fk=0.65 btu/h-ft-°F α=0.02 ft2/hx1= 0.5 ft

Solution:m= k/(hx1) =0.65/(2.6 x 05) = 0.5

Y= (Ti-T)/(T1-To) = (1100-500)/(1100-100) = 0.6

Plotting these on Fig.5.3-6(Heisler),

x≈ 0.4 x= αt/(x1)2

t = 0.4(x1)2/ α = 0.4(0.5)2/0.2 = 0.05h = 3mins
