- A plane wall of thickness 2L has internal heat sources whose strength varies according to qG=qocos(ax) Where qo is the heat generated per unit volume at the center of the wall (x=0) and a is a constant. If both sides of the wall are maintained at a constant temperature of Tw, derive an expression for the total heat loss from the wall per unit surface area.arrow_forwardTo determine the thermal conductivity of a structural material, a large 15-cm-thick slab of the material is subjected to a uniform heat flux of 2500 W/m2 while thermocouples embedded in the wall at 2.5 cm. intervals are read over a period of time. After the system had reached equilibrium, an operator recorded the thermocouple readings shown below for two different environmental conditions: Distance from the Surface (cm) Temperature (C) Test 1 0 40 5 65 10 97 15 132 Test 2 0 95 5 130 10 168 15 208 From these data, determine an approximate expression for the thermal conductivity as a function of temperature between 40 and 208C.arrow_forward1.63 Liquid oxygen (LOX) for the space shuttle is stored at 90 K prior to launch in a spherical container 4 m in diameter. To reduce the loss of oxygen, the sphere is insulated with superinsulation developed at the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology's Cryogenic Division; the superinsulation has an effective thermal conductivity of 0.00012 W/m K. If the outside temperature is on the average and the LOX has a heat of vaporization of 213 J/g, calculate the thickness of insulation required to keep the LOX evaporation rate below 200 g/h.arrow_forward

The inside and outside radii of the spherical shell are r; and r., respectively, and the shell is made of a material having thermal conductivity k. Assume the temperatures at the inside and outside surfaces of the shell are T and T., respectively. The thermal resistance formula assumes the rate of heat transfer through the spherical shell, Q, is constant. The heat flux is in the radial direction for this one-dimensional case, and the dT heat flux is given by Fourier's law: q, = -k The rate of heat transfer through a dr spherical surface is Q =q₁A where A = 4лr².
