    Problem Set

    Heat Transfer
    A vertical furnace wall is made up of an inner wall of firebrick 20 cm thick followed by
    insulating block 15 cm thick and an outer wall of steel 1 cm thick. The surface temperature
    of the wall adjacent to the combustion chamber is 1200°C while that of the outer surface of
    steel is 50°C. The thermal conductivities of the wall material in W/m-K are firebrick, 10;
    insulating brick, 0.26; and steel, 45. Neglecting the film resistance and contact resistance of
    joints, determine the heat loss per sq.m. of wall area.
    A heat exchanger is to be designed for the following specification:

    Hot gas temperature = 1145°C

    Cold gas temperature = 45°C

    Find the maximum thickness of the metal wall between the hot gas and cold gas so that the
    maximum temperature of the wall does not exceed 545°C

    Unit surface conductance on the hot side = 230 W/m 2 K

    Unit surface conductance on the cold side = 290 W/m 2 K

    Thermal Conductivity of the metal wall = 115W/m K


    Steam initially saturated at 2.05 MPa, passes through a 10.13 cm standard pipe for a total
    distance of 152m. The steam line is insulated with 5.05 cm thickness of 85% magnesia. For
    an ambient temperature of 22°C, what is the quality of the steam which arises at its
    destination if the mass flow rate is 0.125 kg steam per second?

    Properties of steam
    Pressure = 2.05MPa

    Temperature = 213.67°C

    hf = 914.52 kJ/kg

    hfg = 1885.5 kJ/kg

    hg = 2800 kJ/kg

    Note: k for 85% magnesia is 0.069 W/ m K and ho for still air is 9.36 W/m2 K
    A hollow sphere is heated by means of a heating coil having a resistance of 100 ohms
    placed in the inside the cavity. The average thermal conductivity of the sphere is 30 BTU/ hr
    ft °F. Calculate the current necessary to maintain the temperature difference between the
    inside and outside surfaces of 8°F. The inside and outside diameters of the sphere are 20.32
    cm and 22.86 cm respectively.
    What is the log mean temperature difference in °C of a double-piped counterflow heat
    exchanger where a fluid enters at 90°C and exits at 50°C. Inside the inner pipe another fluid
    enters at 20 °C and exits at 60°C
