Question
A cylindrical cold storage facility with an inner diameter of 4m and height of 2m is constructed. For the wall, the first layer is 6 cm of glass wool
(0.1 W/m-C), followed by 30 cm of concrete. The temperature inside is maintained at -10C (hin = 55 W/m^2-C) while the outside temperature is
10°C (hout = 22 w/m^2-C). If the steady rate of heat transfer is at 60W, (a) what is the thermal conductivity of concrete? (b) At what radius is the
temperature at 0°C? To prevent water condensation inside the concrete wall (which damages the structure), A 5 cm layer of insulation (k = 0.15
W/m-C) is added to the exterior of the facility. (c) What is the new rate of heat transfer?
