A 3.50 kg of ice at 0°C was placed inside a cylindrical container (k=0.300 W/m-°C), which has a cross-sectional area of 0.667 m2. The whole container was exposed to a temperature of 27°C. Determine the thickness of the circular ends if all of the ice had melted by 5 hours and absorbed a total of 432 kJ. Note that the circular ends are the only conducting parts.

It is designed in such a way that the internal temperature of a commercial heat treatment furnace can reach up to 165 oC. All surfaces of the furnace consist of firebrick (10 cm), insulation material and sheet metal (3mm) from the inside out. Given that the outdoor temperature is 22 oC, the outer sheet will be allowed to go up to 35 oC, which is a temperature that will not be disturbed by hand contact. In this case, determine the insulation material thickness to be used. Insulation material thermal conductivity coefficient is 0.066 insulation W / m oC, 60 W / m oC for sheet metal and 115 W / m oC for firebrick. Indoor heat transfer coefficient will be accepted as 25 W / m2 oC and 12 W / m2 oC for outdoor environment.
