Heat Transfer: Spring 2021

This document appears to be from a lecture on heat transfer. It discusses the heat diffusion equation over multiple pages and provides two sample problems applying the heat diffusion equation. Problem 2.24 asks the reader to determine heat transfer rates into and out of a wall with a given temperature distribution. Problem 2.31 provides a scenario of heat transfer through a coal layer and asks the reader to write the steady-state heat diffusion equation and determine temperature values based on given conditions. The document concludes by listing practice problems from Chapter 2 related to concepts discussed in the lecture.

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 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, 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.
