An industrial freezer is designed to operate with an internal air temperature of -
18°C when the external air temperature is 29°C, and the internal and external heat
transfer coefficients are 8 W/m²-K and 12 W/m²-K, respectively. The walls of the
freezer are composite construction, comprising an inner layer of plastic (k = 0.33
W/m-K, and thickness of 10 mm), and an outer layer of stainless steel (k = 15 W/m-
K, and thickness of 3 mm). Sandwiched between these two layers is a layer of
insulation material with k = 0.07 W/m-K. Find the width (mm) of the insulation that
is required to reduce the convective heat loss to 35 W/m².
Answer within 10 minutes :
The temperature at the inside surface of an oven is 460 oF. The inside wall of the oven is made of brick and is 8 inch thick. The thermal conductivity of the brick is 2.2 Btu/hr.ft2.(oF/ft). The outside of the oven is covered with a 3-inch layer of asbestos as insulation, which has a thermal conductivity of 0.11 Btu/hr.ft2.(oF/ft). If the outer surface of the insulation has a temperature of 100 oF , calculate the amount of heat lost through 2 ft2 of wall area in 3 hours.
The thermal conductivities of human tissues vary greatly. “Fat” and “skin” have conductivities of approximately 0.200 W /m 0K and 0.0200 W /m 0K, respectively, while other “tissues” inside the body have conductivities of approximately 0.500 W /m 0
Assume that between the core region of the body and the skin surface lies a “skin” layer of 1.00mm, a “fat” layer of 0.500 cm., and 3.20 cm. layer of other “tissues”.
Find the rate of energy loss when the core temperature is 37.00C and the exterior temperature is 0.000 Assume a body area of 2.00 m2. (Both a protective layer of clothing and an insulating layer of unmoving air are absent).
