A spherical, cryosurgical probe may be imbedded in diseased tissue for the purpose of freezing, and thereby destroying. the tissue. Consider a probe of 3-mm diameter whose surface is maintained at -30°C when imbedded in tissue that is at 37°C. A spherical layer of frozen tissue forms around the probe, with a temperature of 0°C existing at the phase front (interface) between the frozen and normal tissue. If the thermal conductivity of frozen tissue is approximately

A hollow aluminum sphere, with an electrical heater in the center, is used in tests to determine the thermal conductivity of insulating materials. The inner and outer radii of the sphere are o.18 and o.21 m, respectively, and testing is done under steady-state conditions with the inner surface of the aluminum maintained at 250°C. In a particular test, a spherical shell of insulation is cast on the outer surface of the sphere to a thickness of o.15 m. The system is in a room for which the air temperature is 20°C and the convection coefficient at the outer surface of the insulation is 30 W/m2. K. If 80 W is dissipated by the heater under steady-state conditions, what is the thermal conductivity of the insulation?
An underwater sonar that maps the ocean bathymetry is encapsulated in a sphere with a diameter of 85 mm. During operation, the sonar generates heat at a rate of 300W. What is the sonar surface temperature when it’s located in a water column where the temperature is 15o C and the water current is 1 m/sec?
The sonar was pulled out of the water without turning it off, thus, it was still working. The air temperature was 15o C and the air speed was 3 m/sec. What was the sonar surface temperature? Was there any reason for concern?

mm with 10 mm thick wall. The outside diameter of the corrugated asbestos insulation is 125 mm and the

film coefficient hi = 6000 W/m²-K. Thermal conductivity of pipe and asbestos insulation are 45 and 0.12
W/m-K respectively. Determine in SI unit the heat loss per unit length of pipe.

Expansion joints will be provided to compensate for the change in length in the girders as the temperature varies. Each expansion joint can compensate for a maximum of 20 mm of change in length. From historical records it is estimated that the minimum and maximum temperatures in the region will be -35°C and 40°C, respectively. Determine (a) the minimum number of expansion joints required and (b) the length that each bridge section should be fabricated.

A steel sphere (AISI 1010), 100 mm in diameter, is coated with a dielectric material layer of thickness 2 mm and thermal conductivity 0.04 W/m • K. The coated sphere is initially at a uniform temperature of 500°C and is suddenly quenched in a large oil bath for which To = 100°C and h = 3000 W/m • K. Estimate the time required for the coated sphere temperature to reach 150°C. Hint: Neglect the effect of energy storage in the dielectric material, since its thermal capacitance (pcV) is small compared to that of the steel sphere.arrow_forwardThe wall of an industrial furnace, a 0.15 m thick chamotte with a heat conduction coefficient of 1.7 M / m.K It is made of bricks.
