Heat Transfer: Spring 2019

This document contains lecture notes on heat transfer from ME 333. It summarizes two practice problems - Problem 2.24 and 2.31. For Problem 2.24, it gives the temperature distribution across a wall and asks to determine the heat transfer rates. For Problem 2.31, it describes heat generation in a coal layer and asks to write the heat diffusion equation, sketch the temperature distribution, and evaluate the surface temperatures. It concludes by listing example and exercise problems from Chapter 2.

Lecture 6

Spring 2019
Problem 2.24
The temperature distribution across a wall 0.3 m thick at a certain
instant of time is,
where T is in degrees Celsius and x is in meters, a=200°C, b=-
200°C/m, and c=30°C/m2. The wall has a thermal conductivity of 1
W/m-K.
(a) On a unit surface area basis, determine the rate of heat
transfer into and out of the wall and the rate of change of energy
stored by the wall.
(b) If the cold surface is exposed to a fluid at 100°C, what is the
convection coefficient?

Problem 2.31
A plane layer of coal of thickness L=1m experiences uniform
volumetric generation at a rate of 𝑞ሶ = 20𝑊/𝑚3 due to slow
oxidation of the coal particles. Averaged over a daily period, the top
surface of the layer transfers heat by convection to ambient air for
which h= 5W/m2 –K and T∞ = 25𝑜𝐶, while receiving solar irradiation
in the amount GS= 400 W/m2. Irradiation from the atmosphere may
be neglected. The solar absorptivity and emissivity of the surface are
each 0.95. (a) Write the steady-state form of the heat diffusion
equation for the layer of coal. Verify that this equation is satisfied by a
temperature distribution of the form

Problem 2.31
From this distribution, what can you say about conditions at the bottom surface
(x = 0)? Sketch the temperature distribution and label key features.
(b) Obtain an expression for the rate of heat transfer by conduction per unit
area at x = L. Applying an energy balance to a control surface about the top
surface of the layer, obtain an expression for Ts. Evaluate Ts and T(0) for the
prescribed conditions.
