Iht Practice

The document describes 5 exercises involving the use of Interactive Heat Transfer (IHT) software to analyze heat transfer problems. The first exercise involves calculating temperature distributions in a solid tube with internal cooling and external heat generation. The second examines temperature distribution and heat transfer in a rectangular bar with different boundary temperatures. The third evaluates temperatures in a composite spherical shell storing radioactive waste. The fourth computes maximum temperatures in the lead layer of the third problem as a function of convection coefficients. The fifth examines heat loss and temperature distribution in steam pipe insulation as insulation thickness varies.

Trabajo: IHT
Objetivo:

Aplicar el Software Interactive Heat Transfer para el desarrollo de ejercicios de Transferencia de


Calor.

Una vez realizada la explicación por parte del docente sobre el Software en cuanto a las aplicaciones
del mismo y el uso de sus herramientas. Escoja 3 ejercicios los mismos que serán desarrollados
utilizando el Software (obligatoriamente deberá realizar el ejercicio 1.)

Ejercicios a Desarrollar:

1. Consider the solid tube (Solid tube with uniform heat generation is insulated at the outer
surface and cooled at the inner surface.) Using Equation (1) with Equation (2) in the IHT
workspace, calculate and plot the temperature distributions for a tube of inner and outer radii,
50 mm and 100 mm, and a thermal conductivity of 5 W/m K for volumetric generation rates of
1x10^5, 5x10^5, and 1x10^6 W/m3. The inner surface is cooled by a fluid at 30°C with a
convection coefficient of 1000 W/m2-K.

2. A long bar of rectangular cross section, 0.4m x 0.6m on a side and having a thermal
conductivity of 1.5 W/m-K, is subjected to the boundary conditions shown below. Two of the
sides are maintained at a uniform temperature of 200°C. One of the sides is adiabatic, and the
remaining side is subjected to a convection process with T = 30°C and h = 50W/m2-K. Using
an appropriate numerical technique with a grid spacing of 0.1m, determine the temperature
distribution in the bar and the heat transfer rate between the bar and the fluid per unit length
of the bar

3. A composite spherical shell of inner radius r1 = 0.25 m is constructed from lead of outer radius
r2 = 0.30 m and AISI 302 stainless steel of outer radius r3 = 0.31 m. The cavity is filled with
radioactive wastes that generate heat at a rate of 𝑞̇ = 5x105 W/m3. It is proposed to submerge
the container in oceanic waters that are at a temperature of 𝑇 = 10°C and provide a uniform
convection coefficient of h = 500 W/m2-K at the outer surface of the container. Are there any
problems associated with this proposal?

4. As an alternative to storing radioactive materials in oceanic waters, it is proposed that the
system of Problem 3 be placed in a large tank for which the flow of water, and hence the
convection coefficient h, can be controlled. Compute and plot the maximum temperature of
the lead, T(r1), as a function of h for 100 ≤ h ≤ 1000 W/m2-K. If the temperature of the lead is
not to exceed 500 K, what is the minimum allowable value of h? To improve system reliability,
it is desirable to increase the thickness of the stainless steel shell. For h = 300, 500, and 1000
W/m2-K, compute and plot the maximum lead temperature as a function of shell thickness for
r3 ≥ 0.30 m. What are the corresponding values of the maximum allowable thickness?

5. A steam pipe of 0.12-m outside diameter is insulated with a layer of calcium silicate.
If the insulation is 20 mm thick and its inner and outer surfaces are maintained at 𝑇 , =
800 𝐾 and 𝑇 , = 490 𝐾, respectively, what is the heat loss per unit length (𝑞 ´ ) of the pipe?
We wish to explore the effect of insulation thickness on the heat loss 𝑞 ´ and outer surface 𝑇 , ,
with thw inner surface temperature fixed at 𝑇 , = 800 𝐾. The aouter surface is exposed to an

airflow ( 𝑇 = 25 𝐶 ) that maintains a convection coefficient of ℎ = 25 and to large

surroundings for which 𝑇 = 𝑇 = 25 𝐶 . The surface emissivity of calcium silicate is


approximately 0.8. Compue and plot the temperature distribution in the insulation as a function
of the dimensionless radial coordinate, ( 𝑟 − 𝑟 ) / ( 𝑟 − 𝑟 ) , where 𝑟 = 0.06 𝑚 and 𝑟 is a
variable (0.06 < 𝑟 ≤ 0.20 𝑚). Compute and plot the heat loss as a function of the insulation
thickness for 0 ≤ (𝑟 − 𝑟 ) ≤ 0.14 m
