Assignment 02

Q1. Starting with an energy balance on a cylindrical shell volume


element, derive the steady one-dimensional heat conduction equation
for a long cylinder with constant thermal conductivity in which heat is
generated at a rate of ėgen. [10]

Q2. Consider a medium in which the heat conduction equation is given


in its simplest form as
[5]

(a) Is heat transfer steady or transient?


(b) Is heat transfer one-, two-, or three-dimensional?
(c) Is there heat generation in the medium?
(d) Is the thermal conductivity of the medium constant or variable?

Q3. Consider the base plate of an 800-W household iron with a


thickness of L = 0.6 cm, base area of A = 160 cm 2, and thermal
conductivity of k = 60 W/m·K. The inner surface of the base plate is
subjected to uniform heat flux generated by the resistance heaters
inside. When steady operating conditions are reached, the outer
surface temperature of the plate is measured to be 112°C.
Disregarding any heat loss through the upper part of the iron, (a)
express the differential equation and the boundary conditions for
steady one-dimensional heat conduction through the plate, (b) obtain a
relation for the variation of temperature in the base plate by solving
the differential equation, and (c) evaluate the inner surface
temperature.

Q4. A large plane wall has a thickness L = 50 cm and thermal


conductivity k = 25 W/m∙K. On the left surface (x = 0), it is subjected
to a uniform heat flux while the surface temperature T 0 is constant. On
the right surface, it experiences convection and radiation heat transfer
while the surface temperature is TL = 225°C and the surrounding
temperature is 25°C. The emissivity and the convection heat transfer
coefficient on the right surface are 0.7 and 15 W/m 2∙K, respectively.
Show that the variation of temperature in the wall can be expressed as

Determine the temperature of the left surface of the wall at x = 0.
