Heat Transfer final exam questions
Answer the questions in total of 100 points
1)Figure-1 shows the part of a set of radial aluminium fins (k=180 W/mK). They are fitted on a coolant pipe.
The pipe dissipates 1 KW by convection to the surrounding air which is at 20 oC and h=15 W/m2K. Each fins
100 mm long, 30 mm high and 5 mm thick. Estimate the number of fins required to ensure at the base
temperature does not exceed 120 oC.

2) --Calculate the heat loss by convection and conduction per meter length of the insulated
pipe shown in the Figure 2. (20 Points)
--Discuss the corresponding heat loss for five times thicker insulation thickness. (30 points)

3) Air at 4ºC ( k = 0.024 W/mK) adjacent to a wall 3 m high and 0.15 m thick made of brick with k = 0.3
W/mK, the inside temperature of the wall is 18 ºC, the outside wall temperature 12 ºC. Calculate the Nusselt
number.

4) Drive the equation of the overall heat transfer coefficient (K) for the horizontally located triple pane
window shown in Figure 4.

5) Derive the equation of heat transfer through a flat wall. Where k depends on temperature as k(T) = a + bT
