Thermal Resistance

Latihan soal

A 5-m-internal-diameter spherical tank made of 1,5-cm-thick stainless

steel (k =15 W/mC) is used to store iced water at 0C. The tank is located
in a room whose temperature is 30C. The walls of the room are also at
30C. The outer surface of the tank is black (emissivity=1), and heat
transfer between the outer surface of the tank and the surroundings is by
natural convection and radiation. The convection heat transfer
coefficients at the inner and the outer surfaces of the tank are 80
W/m2.C and 10 W/m2.C , respectively.
Determine (a) the rate of heat transfer
to the iced water in the tank and (b) the
amount of ice at 0C that melts during a
24-h period. The heat of fusion of water
at atmospheric pressure is hif=333,7
kJ/kg.

The boiling temperature of nitrogen at atmospheric pressure at sea level (1 atm

pressure) is 196C. Therefore, nitrogen is commonly used in low-temperature
scientific studies since the temperature of liquid nitrogen in a tank open to the
atmosphere will remain constant at 196C until it is depleted. Any heat transfer to
the tank will result in the evaporation of some liquid nitrogen, which has a heat of
vaporization of 198 kJ/kg and a density of 810 kg/m3 at 1 atm. Consider a 3-mdiameter spherical tank that is initially filled with liquid nitrogen at 1 atm and
196C. The tank is exposed to ambient air at 15C, with a combined convection
and radiation heat transfer coefficient of 35 W/m2C.
The temperature of the thin-shelled spherical
tank is observed to be almost the same as the
temperature of the nitrogen inside. Determine
the rate of evaporation of the liquid nitrogen in
the tank as a result of the heat transfer from the
ambient air if the tank is (a) not insulated, (b)
insulated with 5-cm-thick fiberglass insulation (k
0.035 W/mC), and (c) insulated with 2-cm-thick
superinsulation which has an effective thermal
conductivity of 0.00005 W

Consider a 0,12-m-high, 8-m-long, and 0,22-m-thick wall whose
representative cross section is as given in the figure. The thermal
conductivities of various materials used, in W/mC, are kA=kF=2, kB=8,
kC=20, kD=15, and kE=35. The left and right surfaces of the wall are
maintained at uniform temperatures of 300C and 100C, respectively.
Assuming heat transfer through the
wall
to
be
one-dimensional,
determine (a) the rate of heat transfer
through the wall; (b) the temperature
at the point where the sections B, D,
and E meet; and (c) the temperature
drop across the section F. Disregard
any contact resistances at the
interfaces.
