Calculate the heat loss per m2 of surface area for an insulating wall composed of 25.

4-mm-thick
fiber insulating board (k = 0.048 W/m K), where the inside temperature is 352.7 K and the outside
temperature is 297.1 K.

A thick-walled cylindrical tubing of hard rubber (k = 0.087 BTU / h ft oF) having an inside radius of 5
mm and an outside radius of 20 mm is being used as a temporary cooling coil in a bath. Ice water is
flowing rapidly inside, and the inside wall temperature is 274.9 K. The outside surface temperature is
297.1 K. A total of 14.65 W must be removed from the bath by the cooling coil. How many meters of
tubing are needed?

A cold-storage room is constructed of an inner layer of 12.7 mm of pine, a middle layer of 101.6 mm
of cork board, and an outer layer of 76.2 mm of concrete. The wall surface temperature is 255.4 K
inside the cold room and 297.1 K at the outside surface of the concrete. Calculate the heat loss in W
for 1 m2 and the temperature at the interface between the wood and cork board.

Use the following conductivity values (W/m · K) for: pine (0.151) cork board (0.0433) concrete (0.762)

A thick-walled tube of stainless steel (A) having a k = 21.63 W/m · K with dimensions of 0.0254 m ID
and 0.0508 m OD is covered with a 0.0254-m-thick layer of an insulation (B), k = 0.2423 W/m · K. The
inside-wall temperature of the pipe is 811 K and the outside surface of the insulation is at 310.8 K.
For a 0.305-m length of pipe, calculate the heat loss and also the temperature at the interface
between the metal and the insulation.

Saturated steam at 267°F is flowing inside a -in. steel pipe having an ID of 0.824 in. and an OD of
1.050 in. The pipe is insulated with 1.5 in. of insulation on the outside. The convective coefficient for
the inside steam surface of the pipe is estimated as hi = 1000 btu/h · ft2 · °F, and the convective
coefficient on the outside of the lagging is estimated as ho = 2 btu/h · ft2 · °F. The mean thermal
conductivity of the metal is 45 W/m · K or 26 btu/h · ft · °F and 0.064 W/m · K, or 0.037 btu/h · ft · °F for
the insulation.

a) Calculate the heat loss for 1 ft of pipe using resistances if the surrounding air is at 80°F.

b) Repeat, using the overall Ui based on the inside area Ai.

An electric wire having a diameter of 1.5 mm and covered with a plastic insulation (thickness = 2.5
mm) is exposed to air at 300 K and ho = 20 W/m2 · K. The insulation has a k of 0.4 W/m · K. It is
assumed that the wire’s surface temperature is constant at 400 K and is not affected by the covering.

a) Calculate the value of the critical radius.

b) Calculate the heat loss per m of wire length with no insulation.

c) Repeat (b) for the presence of insulation.

An electric current of 200 A is passed through a stainless-steel wire having a radius r of 0.001268 m.
The wire is L = 0.91 m long and has a resistance R of 0.126 ohms. The outer surface temperature Tw
is held at 422.1 K. The average thermal conductivity is k = 22.5 W/m · K. Calculate the center
temperature.
