7. A spherical shaped vessel of 1.2 m diameter is 100 mm thick.

Find the rate of heat


leakage, if the temperature difference between the inner and outer surfaces is 200o C.
Thermal conductivity of material is 0.3 kJ /mhoC.
Given
d1 =1.2 m
r1 = 0.6 m
r2 = r1 + thick
= 0.6 + 0.1
r2 = 0.7 m
∆ =2000C
K = 0.3 kJ /mhr oC = 0.0833 W/mo C

8. A steel pipe (K = 45.0 W/m.K) having a 0.05m O.D is covered with a 0.042 m thick
layer of magnesia (K = 0.07W/m.K) which in turn covered with a 0.024 m layer of
fiberglass insulation (K = 0.048 W/m.K). The pipe wall outside temperature is 370 K
and the outer surface temperature of the fiberglass is 305K. What is the interfacial
temperature between the magnesia and fiberglass? Also calculate the steady state heat
transfer.
Given:
OD = 0.05 m
d1= 0.05 m
r1 = 0.025 m
k1 = 45 W/mK
r2 = r1 + thick of insulation 1
r2 = 0.025+0.042
r2 = 0.067 m
k2 = 0.07 W/mK
