A 2.5-cm-thick sheet of plastic initially at 20oC is placed between two heated steel plates that are maintained at 140oC. The plastic is to be heated just long enough for its mid-plane temperature to reach 130oC. If the thermal conductivity of the plastic is 1.2 x 10 -3 W/m/K, the thermal diffusivity is 2.7 x 10 -6 m2/s, and the thermal resistance at the interface between the plates and the plastic is negligible, determine a) the required heating time, b) the temperature at a plane 0.6 cm from the steel plate at the moment the heating is discontinued, and c) the time required of the plastic to reach the temperature of 130oC at 0.6 cm from the steel plate.
A 5-m-wide, 4-m-high, and 40-m-long kiln used to cure concrete pipes is made of 20-cm-thick
concrete walls and ceiling (k = 0.9 W/m · °K). The kiln is maintained at a surface temperature
of 40°C. Determine the rate of heat loss from the kiln when the outside surface temperature
is -4°C
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.
