The concrete slab of a basement is 11 m long, 8 m wide, and 0.5 m thick. During the winter, temperatures are nominally 17°C and 10°C
at the top and bottom surfaces, respectively. If the concrete has a thermal conductivity of 1.4 W/m-K, what is the rate of heat loss
through the slab, in W? If the basement is heated by a gas furnace operating at an efficiency of 7, = 0.90 and natural gas is priced at
= $0.02/MJ, what is the daily cost of the heat loss, in dollars per day?

- It is designed in such a way that the internal temperature of a commercial heat treatment furnace can reach up to 165 oC. All surfaces of the furnace consist of firebrick (10 cm), insulation material and sheet metal (3mm) from the inside out. Given that the outdoor temperature is 22 oC, the outer sheet will be allowed to go up to 35 oC, which is a temperature that will not be disturbed by hand contact. In this case, determine the insulation material thickness to be used. Insulation material thermal conductivity coefficient is 0.066 insulation W / m oC, 60 W / m oC for sheet metal and 115 W / m oC for firebrick. Indoor heat transfer coefficient will be accepted as 25 W / m2 oC and 12 W / m2 oC for outdoor environment.arrow_forwardAn industrial cold room has four 200 mm thick walls made of concrete. The walls are insulated on the outside with a layer of foam 60 mm thick. Cladding with a thickness of 15 mm protects the foam on the outside from the elements. The composite wall surface temperatures are –3 °C on the inside and 18 °C on the outside of the room respectively. The thermal conductivities of concrete, foam and cladding are 0.75, 0.35 and 0.5 W/m K respectively. Assuming perfect thermal contact between the layers of the composite walls, draw the typical temperature distribution across the layers and determine the heat energy gained per hour through all 4 walls of the room with a total surface area of 20 m2. What does this heat energy represent in terms of the refrigeration system of the cold room?arrow_forwardAn industrial cold room has four 200 mm thick walls made of concrete.
