Emch 751 HW 04

This document contains two heat transfer problems from homework assignment EMCH 751. Problem 2 involves estimating the heat loss through a steel rod passing through insulation and into air, and calculating the rod tip temperature. Problem 3 involves calculating the heat leak per unit length through a double-layer aluminum door with insulation in between, and finding the temperatures at the inner and outer door edges. Thermal properties and conditions are provided for both problems.

EMCH 751: Advanced Heat Transfer Due: 11/04/2022 HW04

Problem 2: As shown in Figure 2, a 60 cm-long, 3 cm-diameter AISI 1010 steel rod with thermal
conductivity of 59 W/m-K is welded to a furnace wall and passes through 20 cm of insulation
before emerging into the surrounding air. The furnace wall is at 300 ˚C, and the air temperature is
20 ˚C. Estimate
a) the heat loss through the rod; and
b) the temperature of the bar tip if the heat transfer coefficient between the rod and air is taken
to be 13 W/m2K.

Figure 2

Problem 3: A door of a large commercial oven is made of two 1/8’’ thick aluminum plates separated by
1” of insulation. The door edges, which are very long, are covered by a 1/8” thick aluminum sheet.
Assuming that there is no heat transfer through the insulation and that the convective heat transfer
between the door edge and the surrounding air in the gap (the door is in the closed position) can be
neglected, find:
a) Heat leak through the door per unit
length.
b) Find temperatures at edges, T1 and T2.

Thermal conductivity of aluminum, k =


170 W/m-K. Outside temperature, To = 21
˚C, outside heat transfer coefficient ho =
17 W/m2-K, inside temperature, Ti = 205
˚C and inside heat transfer coefficient hi =
12 W/m2-K. (Hint: Fin approximation)
