An insulation is sought that will reduce the boil-off rate in the steady state to no more than 11.3 kg/h. The heat of vaporization of LOX is 214 kJ/kg. If the thickness of this insulation is to be no more than 7.5 cm, what would the value of its thermal conductivity have to be?arrow_forward

One side of the material at r = O is insulated, so that the heat flux there is zero, while the other side at (dimensionless) a = 1 is kept at (dimensionless temperature) of 0 = 0. Initially, the temperature distribition in the thin sheet is f(x) = (1-x2)/2. We wish to determine the unsteady-state temperature distribution within the sheet. (a) Write dowm the governing equation and the initial and boundary conditions for the (dimensionless) temperature 0, i.e., one-dimensional unsteady-state conduction described in class.

- *** 32. A double-chambered container contains one mole of helium in one of its 1000 cm³ Pull to volume chambers. The container is well-insulated, and of low specific heat, so that no appre- remove ciable heat is added to the gas during the process we describe. The gas is initially at a tempera- ture of 300 K and a pressure of 1 atmosphere. The partition between the two chambers is then quickly raised, and the gas expands freely to fill the entire container. Whenever a monatomic gas like helium doubles its volume adiabatically like this, the pressure in the gas will drop to 0.315 of what it was before (for reasons that we did not explain in this chapter), so the final 1000 cm3 1000 cm³ pressure of the expanded gas will be 0.315 atmospheres. a) What is the temperature of the gas after the expansion? b) What is the change in the internal energy of the gas? c) How much heat is added to the gas? [Hint: Maybe read the problem again.] d) How much work is done by the gas as it expands?
