A furnace must be built with an inner layer of refractory brick (conductivity 1.27 Kcal/h mºC). This layer must be coated with a layer of insulating brick (conductivity 0.134 Kcal/hm ºC) 22 cm thick, in turn covered with a 15 cm layer of building brick (conductivity 0.75 Kcal/ hm°C). The inner surface of the refractory wall will operate at 1150ºC and the outside at 65ºC. How many centimeters of refractory brick would be required for the insulation not to exceed 930ºC (safety limit of the material in question).
Heat is generated in a 1.4 m long and 0.2 cm diameter electrical resistance wire placed in the middle of a room kept at 20 degrees. Under continuous conditions, the surface temperature of the wire was measured as 180 ° C, the voltage drop on the wire as 110 V and the electric current as 3 A. Regardless of radiative heat transfer,Find the heat transfer coefficient for the heat transfer between the surface of the wire shown in the figure and the room air.

What is the temperature of the outside surface of the car roof? The power density of solar radiation is 840 W / m2 and the absorption coefficient of the roof paint for radiation is 0.51. The heat transfer coefficient from the roof surface to the outside air is 11.6 W / (m2K), which also includes heat radiation from the surface to the environment. Radiation from the atmosphere to the car is not taken into account. The total thermal resistance of the car's roof structure is 1.0 m2K / W.

The other disc is open to radiation on both sides and reaches an equilibrium temperature. Calculate this equilibrium temperature and the heat flow rate from the first disc, assuming heat transfer is entirely by radiation.arrow_forward1. Two large stainless steel plates at temperatures of 90°C and 70°C are separated by a stainless steel rod 0.3 m long and 2.5 cm in diameter. The thermal conductivity of type 304 stainless steel is k = 16.2 W/m K. The rod is welded to each plate. The space between the plates is filled with insulation so that no heat is lost from the circumference of the rod. Because of a voltage difference between the two plates, current flows through the rod, resulting in a uniform heat generation rate of 1.5 x 10³ W/m³.

- You are designing a chamber to contain the radiation emitted by nuclear decay during a fusion reaction. The left face of the (plane) chamber wall (x = 0) is exposed to the radiation and the right face of the wall (x = L) is perfectly insulated. To facilitate the fusion reaction, the left face of the wall is maintained at fixed temperature To. The radiation penetrates the wall causing uniform heat generation that varies with location inside the wall as ) = 40 (1 - 1) g(x) where qo [W/m^3 ] is a constant.
