the x-direction per unit area normal to the x-direction) 1. An annealing chamber has a composite wall made of a 17 cm thick firebrick layer (k = 1.1 W/m °C) and a 13 cm thick ordinary brick layer (k = 0.70 W/m °C). The inside and outside surface temperatures of the walls are 400°C and 45°C, respectively. Calculate the heat loss from 25 m2 of furnace wall. Also, determine the temperature between the ordinary brick and the firebrick layers. 2. The walls of a house in a cold region consist of three layers-an outer brickwork of 15 cm thickness and an inner wooden panel of 1.2 cm thickness. The intermediate layer is made of an insulating material 7 cm thick. The thermal conductivities of the brick and the wood used are 0.70 W/m °C and 0.18 W/m °C, respectively. The inside and outside temperatures of the composite wall are 21°C and -15°C, respectively. If the layer of insulation offers twice the thermal resistance of the brick wall, calculate (a) the rate of heat loss per unit area of the wall and (b) the thermal conductivity of the insulating material. 3. A 15 cm schedule 40 steam main carries saturated steam at 10.7 bar (gauge), and the temperature is 190°C. The inside and outside diameters of the pipe are 15.4 cm and 16.8 cm, respectively. The thermal conductivity of the pipe wall is 51 W/m °C. The pipe is insulated with a 10 cm thick fibre glass blanket (k = 0.072 W/m °C). If the outer surface temperature of the insulation is 41°C, calculate the rate of heat loss over a 10 m section of the pipe. Also, calculate the fraction of the total thermal resistance offered by the pipe wall. Is it justified to neglect the resistance of the metal wall in this type of problem? 4. A spherical vessel of 3 m inside diameter is made of AISI 316 stainless steel sheet of 9 mm thickness (k = 14 W/m °C). The inside temperature is - 80°C. The vessel is layered with a 10 cm thick polyurethane foam (k = 0.02 W/m °C) followed by a 15 cm outer layer of cork (k = 0.045 W/m °C). If the outside surface temperature is 30°C, calculate (a) the total thermal resistance of the insulated vessel wall, (b) the rate of heat flow to the vessel, (c) the temperature and heat flux at the interface between the polyurethane and the cork layers, and (d) the percentage error in calculation if the heat transfer resistance of the metal wall is neglected. 5.

The following data are given: LA = 0.1 m, LC = 0.2 m, LD = 0.12 m, H = 2 m, HB = 1 m, kA = 20 W/m °C, kB = 10 W/m °C, kc = 7 W/m °C, kD = 25 W/m °C, T1 = 120°C, and T2 = 50°C. Calculate the rate of heat flow through the assembly per unit breadth. Assume one - dimensional heat flow only. Show the electric analogue of the problem.
