Exercises Problem 1 Heat Transfer-1

This problem involves calculating the minimum thickness of insulating material needed to ensure no more than 1892 W/sq. m is conducted through a composite wall. The wall is 30 cm thick with a conductivity of 0.865 W/m.K on one side and the insulating material on the other. The surface temperatures are 1150°C and 40°C. Using the heat conduction equation, the calculation determines the insulating thickness must be at least 8.3 cm.

Problem:
It is desired that no more than 1892 W/sq. m be conducted through a 30 cm thick wall
whose average thermal conductivity is k = 0.865 W/m.K ; the conducted heat will be
controlled by insulating one side. Find the least thickness of insulating material (k=0.346
W/m.K) that will assure this heat constraint if the surface temperature of composite wall
are 1150 deg C and 40 deg C. Ans. 8.3 cm
