Heat transfer tutorial

1. Estimate the heat loss per m2 of the surface through a brick wall 0.5 m thick when the inner
surface is at 400 K (127o C) and the outside surface is at 310 K (37o C). The thermal
conductivity of the brick may be taken as 0.7 W/(m·K).
2. Calculate the rate of heat loss Q, through a wall of red brick [k = 0.70 W/(m·K)] 5 m in
length, 4 m in height and 250 mm in thickness, if the wall surfaces are maintained at 373
K (100o C) and 303 K (30o C) respectively.
3. It is necessary to insulate a flat surface so that the rate of heat loss per unit area of this
surface does not exceed 450 W/m2. The temperature difference across the insulating
layers is 400 K (127oC). Evaluate the thickness of insulation if (a) the insulation is made
of asbestos cement having thermal conductivity of 0.11 W/(m·K), and (b) the insulation is
made of fire clay having thermal conductivity of 0.84 W/(m·K).
4. A steam pipeline, 150/160 mm in diameter, carries steam. The pipeline is lagged with a
layer of heat insulating material [k = 0.08 W/(m·K)] of thickness 100 mm. The temperature
drops from 392.8 K (119.8 oC) to 313 K (40 oC) across the insulating surface. Determine
the rate of heat loss per 1 m length of pipe line.
5. A furnace is constructed with 225 mm thick of fire brick, 120 mm of insulating brick and
225 mm of the building brick. The inside temperature is 1200 K (927 oC) and the outside
temperature is 330 K (57 oC). Find the heat loss per unit area and the temperature at the
junction of the fire brick and insulating brick.
Data :
k for fire brick = 1.4 W/(m·K)
k for insulating brick = 0.2 W/(m·K)
k for building brick = 0.7 W/(m·K)

6. A 50 mm diameter pipe of circular cross-section and with walls 3 mm thick is covered with
two concentric layers of lagging, the inner layer having a thickness of
25 mm and a thermal conductivity of 0.08 W/(m·K), and the outer layer having a thickness
of 40 mm and a thermal conductivity of 0.04 W/(m·K). Estimate the rate of heat loss per
metre length of pipe if the temperature inside the pipe is 550 K (277 oC) and the outside
surface temperature is 330 K (57 oC). k for pipe is 45 W/(m·K).
7. Calculate the overall heat transfer coefficient from the following data :
Inside heat transfer coefficient = 5800 W/(m2·K)
Outside heat transfer coefficient = 1750 W/(m2·K)
Outside diameter of tube = 30 mm
Inside diameter of tube = 20 mm
Thermal conductivity of metal wall = 46.52 W/(m·K)
8. Find the overall heat transfer coefficient if :
(i) Inside and outside film heat transfer coefficients are 12 and 11600 W/(m2·K)
respectively.
(ii) Inside and outside diameters are 25 mm and 29 mm respectively.
(iii) Thermal conductivity of metal = 34.9 W/(m·K).
