    UNSTEADY STATE CONDUCTION

    1. What length of time is required to heat a 2.5 cm diameter, 5 cm long copper cylinder ( k = 380 W/mK )
    from 16 oC to 93 oC in a furnace whose temperature is 315 oC ? The value of h at the cylinder surface is
    204 KJ/hm2K and its thermal diffusivity is 0.186 m2 /s.
    2. A cylindrical steel shaft 10 cm. in diameter and 2.4 m long is heat treated to give it desired physical
    properties. It is heated to a uniform temperature of 600C and then plunged into an oil bath which
    maintains the surface temperature at 150 oC . Calculate the radial temperature profile at 2 min and at 3
    min after immersion
    3. A large sheet of glass 50 cm thick is initially at 150°C throughout. It is plunged into a stream of running
    water having a temperature of 15°C. How long will it take to cool the glass to an average temperature
    of 38°C? For glass: K= 0.70 W/mK; ρ= 2480 kg/m3, Cp = 0.84 kJ/kgK
    4. A flat slab of rubber, 2.54cm thick initially at 21.1°C is to be placed between two heated steel plates
    maintained at 137.78°C. The heating is to be discontinued when the temperature at the mid plane of
    the slab is 132.22°C. The rubber has a thermal conductivity of 0.15912 W/m 2 (°C/m) and thermal
    diffusivity of 8.671x10-6 m2/s. Thermal resistance from metal to rubber may be neglected.
    5. A slab of meat 25.4 mm thick originally at a uniform temperature of 10 oC is to be cooked from both
    sides until the center reaches 121oC in an oven at 177oC. The convection coefficient can be assumed
    constant at 25.6 W/m2-K. Neglect any latent heat changes and calculate the time required. The
    thermal conductivity is 0.69 W/m-K and the thermal diffusivity 5.85x10 -4m2/h. Use the Heisler Chart.
    6. A wall made of concrete, 0.305 m thick is insulated on the rear side. The wall was at a uniform
    temperature of 10°C and was exposed on the front side to a gas at 843°C at time zero. The convection
    coefficient is 28.4 W/m2.K. The thermal diffusivity of the wall is 1.74x10 -3 m2/h and the thermal
    conductivity is 0.935 W/m K.
    a. calculate the time for the temperature at the insulated face to reach 232°C,
    b. at this time calculate the temperature at a point 0.152 m below the surface
    7. Cooling a Steel Rod. A long steel rod 0.305 m in diameter is initially at a temperature of 588 K. It is
    immersed in an oil bath maintained at 311 K. The surface convective coefficient is 125 W/m 2∙K.
    Calculate the temperature at the center of the rod after 1 h. The average physical properties of the
    steel are k = 38 W/m∙K and α = 0.0381 m2/h.
    8. An ordinary egg can be approximated as a 5-cm-diameter sphere (Fig. 4–21). The egg is initially at a
    uniform temperature of 5C and is dropped into boiling water at 95C. Taking the convection heat
    transfer coefficient to be h =1200 W/m2 · C, determine how long it will take for the center of the egg to
    reach 70C. An egg is cooked in boiling water. The cooking time of the egg is to be determined.
    Assumptions
    1 The egg is spherical in shape with a radius of ro =2.5 cm.
    2 Heat conduction in the egg is one-dimensional because of thermal symmetry about the midpoint.
    3 The thermal properties of the egg and the heat transfer coefficient are constant.
    4 The Fourier number is = 0.2 so that the one-term approximate solutions are applicable.
    9. A large slab 1m thick is initially at a uniform temperature of 150 oC. Suddenly its front face is exposed
    to a fluid maintained at 250oC, but its rear face remained insulated. The fluid has a convective
    coefficient of 40W/m2K. Assume the solid has a thermal diffusivity of 0.000025 m 2/s and a thermal
    conductivity of 20W/mK. 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.

    Answer:6T1 =191.5488oC T =150.16oC
