An insulated steam pipe having outside diameter of 30 mm is to be covered with two layers of insulation, each having thickness of 20 mm. The thermal conductivity of one material is 5 times that of the other. Assuming that the inner and outer surface temperatures of composite insulation are fixed, how much will heat transfer be increased when better insulation material is next to the pipe than it is at outer layer?

To reduce heat flux, the skin is wrapped with a clothing material. What should be the thickness of the clothing material covering the surface of this skin tissue to reduce the heat flux to half of its original value? What is the temperature at the skin-clothing material interface? Note: if you think you need to have more information to solve this problem, you're free to make assumptions. Please state them clearly in your answer, if you need to make such assumptions.
The lining of box-type fumace is made up of a refractory layer and steel plate as shown in the figure. Steady state temperature at the surface of the refractory is 1273 K and that at the outer steel surface is 473 K. If the steady state heat flux through the refractory-steel plate composite is 1600 W/m², and heat flow is along x-direction only, the thermal contact resistance (m² K/W) between refractory and steel is_ steel Refractory 1273K Furnace 473K Ambient Given data: Thermal conductivity of refractory = 1.2 W/m-K Thickness of refractory lining = 80mm Thermal conductivity of steel = 32 W/mK Thickness of steel plate = 4mm
Two approaches used in development of the thermal resistance network in the x-direction for multi-dimensional problems are to assume any plane wall normal to the x-axis to be isothermal and to assume any plane parallel to the x-axis to be adiabatic. True or False True False
