Concept explainers
A plane wall, 7.5 cm thick, generates heat internally at the rate of 105 W/m3. One side of the wall is insulated, and the other side is exposed to an environment at 90°C. The convection heat transfer coefficient between the wall and the environment is 500 W/m2 K. If the thermal conductivity of the wall is 12 W/m K, calculate the maximum temperature in the wall.

The maximum temperature in the wall
Answer to Problem 2.1P
Maximum temperature in the wall is 128.430C at it occurs at x = 0.
Explanation of Solution
Given Information:
Thickness of the wall L = 7.5 cm = 0.075 m
Rate of internal heat generation qg = 105 W/m3
Temperature of environment = 900C
Convective heat transfer coefficient between the wall and the environment h = 500 W/m2K
Thermal conductivity of the wall k = 12W/mK
Assumptions:
One dimensional steady state heat transfer.
Properties of the wall and convective heat transfer coefficient remains constant.
Explanation: For one dimensional heat transfer with internal heat generation we have:
Conclusion:
Maximum temperature in the wall occurs at x = 0 and it is 128.43 0C .

- Large wind turbines with a power capacity of 8 MW and blade span diameters of over 160 m areavailable for electric power generation. Consider a wind turbine with a blade span diameter of 120m installed at a site subjected to steady winds at 8.25 m/s. Taking the overall efficiency of thewind turbine to be 33 percent and the air density to be 1.25 kg/m3, determine the electric powergenerated by this wind turbine. Also, assuming steady winds of 8.25 m/s during a 24-h period,determine the amount of electric energy and the revenue generated per day for a unit price of$0.08/kWh for electricity.arrow_forwardThe basic barometer can be used to measure the height of a building.
