    PROBLEM SET NO. 3


    Second Semester, AY 2022-2023

    1. Insulation of a Cold Room. Calculate the heat loss per m2 of surface area for a temporary
    insulating wall of a food cold storage room where the outside temperature is 299.9K and the
    inside temperature 276.5 K. The wall is composed of 25.4 mm of cork board having a k of
    0.0433 W/m K.

    2. Insulation Needed for Food Cold Storage Room. A food cold storage room is to be
    constructed of an inner layer of 19.1 mm of pine wood, a middle layer of cork board and an
    outer layer of 50.8 mm of concrete. The inside wall surface temperature is – 17.8C and the
    outside surface temperature is 29.4C at the outer concrete surface. The mean conductivities are
    for pine, 0.151; cork 0.0433; and concrete 0.762 W/m K. The total inside surface area of the
    room to use in the calculation is approximately 39m2 (neglecting the corner and end effects).
    What thickness of cork board is needed to keep the heat loss to 568W.

    3. Insulation of a Furnace. A wall of a furnace 0.244 m thick is constructed of material having


    a thermal conductivity of 1.30 W/m K. The wall will be insulated on the outside with material
    having an average k of 0.346 W/ m K, so the heat loss from the furnace will be equal to or less
    than 1830 W/m2. The inner surface temperature is 1588 K and the outer 299 K. Calculate the
    thickness of insulation required.

    4. Diffusion of Methane through Helium. A gas of CH4 and He is contained in a tube at 101.3
    kPa pressure and 298 K. At one point the partial pressure of methane is PA1=60.79 kPa and at
    a point 0.02 m distance away, PA2= 20.26 kPa. If the total pressure is constant throughout the
    tube, calculate the flux of CH4 (methane) at steady state for equimolar counter diffusion.

    5. Diffusion of A through Stagnant B and Effect of Type of Boundary on Flux. Ammonia gas
    is diffusing through N2 under steady state conditions with N2 nondiffusing since it is insoluble
    in one boundary. The total pressure is 1.013 x 105 Pa and temperature is 298K. The partial
    pressure of NH3 at one point is 1.333 x 104 Pa and the other point 20 mm away is 6.666 x
    103 Pa. The 𝐷𝐴𝐵 for the mixture at 1.013 x 105 and 298 K is 2.30 x 10−5 𝑚2 /s.
