The inner and outer surfaces of a cylindrical shell with radii of 1
cm and 2 cm are 300 °C and 100 °C, respectively. If the thermal
conductivity of the shell is 2 W/m-K, determine the heat transfer
through the shell per unit length of the cylinder.
Two large steel plates at temperature of 90°C and
70°C are separated by a steel rod 2.5 cm diameter
and 0.25 m long. The rod is welded to each plate.
The space between the plates is filled with insulation
which also insulates the circumference of the rod.
Because of voltage difference between the two plates
current flows through the rod and the electrical
energy is dissipated at a rate of 10 W. Determine
the maximum temperature in the rod and the heat
flux at each end. Proceed to compare the net heat
flow rate of the two ends with the total rate of
heat generation.
Thermal conductivity for the rod material is
42.5 W/m-deg.
A 4-mm and 2-m-long electric wire is tightly wrapped with a 2-mm-thick plastic cover whose thermal conductivity is k
=0.1 W/m-°C. Electrical measurements indicate that a current of 10 A passes through the wire and there is a voltage drop
of 10 V along the wire. If the insulated wire is exposed to a medium at
=20 °C with a heat transfer coefficient of h=10
T.
W/m2.°C, determine the temperatures T1 and T2 as shown in the figure below. Also determine whether doubling the
.thickness of the plastic cover will increase or decrease T2
