çengel 2nd edition problem 2-99 [1]

Consider a plane wall of thickness L whose thermal conductivity varies in a specified

temperature range as k(T) = ko (1+βT2) where ko and β are two specified constants.
The wall surface at x= 0 is maintained at a constant temperature of T1 , while the surface
at x = L is maintained at T2. Assuming steady one-dimensional heat transfer, obtain a
relation for the heat transfer rate through the wall.

Consider a cylindrical shell of length L, inner radius r1 ,

and outer radius r2 whose thermal conductivity varies
linearly in a specified temperature range as
k(T)= ko (1+β T) where ko and β are two specified
constants. The inner surface of the shell is
maintained at a constant temperature of T1, while the
outer surface is maintained at T2. Assuming steady one
dimensional heat transfer, obtain a relation for
(a) heat transfer rate through cylindrical shell, and
(b) temperature distribution T(r) in shell.

A straight rectangular fin has a length of 3.5 cm, a thickness of 1.5 mm, and is made of a
material characterized by thermal conductivity of 255 W/m-°C. The fin is exposed to a
convection environment at 20°C and h = 1.5 kW/m2-°C. Determine the maximum possible
heat transfer from this fin for the base temperature of 150°C. What is the actual heat
transfer from this fin? What is its thermal efficiency?

Consider steady two-dimensional heat transfer in a long solid bar whose cross section is given in
Figure below. The measured temperatures in oC at selected points of outer surfaces are as
shown. The thermal conductivity of body is 20 w/(m.K) and there is no generation. Using finite
difference method with a mesh size of x=y=1 cm, write finite difference formulations at nodes
1, 2, 3, and 4.

A large industrial furnace is supported on

a long column of fireclay brick, which is
1 m by 1 m on a side shown in Figure.
During steady-state operation, installation
is such that three surfaces of the column
are maintained at 500K, while the
remaining surface is exposed to an
airstream with temperature 300 K and
h=10 Wm2.K. Using a grid of ∆x = ∆y =
0.25 m, write the finite difference equations
at nodes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8.
