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.
An industrial cold room has four 200 mm thick walls made of concrete. The walls are insulated on the outside with a layer of foam 60 mm thick. Cladding with a thickness of 15 mm protects the foam on the outside from the elements. The composite wall surface temperatures are –3 °C on the inside and 18 °C on the outside of the room respectively. The thermal conductivities of concrete, foam and cladding are 0.75, 0.35 and 0.5 W/m K respectively. Assuming perfect thermal contact between the layers of the composite walls, draw the typical temperature distribution across the layers and determine the heat energy gained per hour through all 4 walls of the room with a total surface area of 20 m2. What does this heat energy represent in terms of the refrigeration system of the cold room?
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
