Chapter 3 - Examples and Exercises (Part II) New

The document provides three examples of heat transfer calculations involving cylindrical and spherical geometries. Example 1 calculates heat loss from a steam pipe with insulation. Example 2 calculates surface temperatures of a heated cable with and without insulation. Example 3 calculates the power needed to maintain the temperature of an oil storage tank.

Example 1: Cylindrical Wall Heat Loss (with Conv. + Rad.)

1. Steam at T∞,1 = 320 °C flows in a cast iron pipe [k = 80 W/ m. °C]


whose inner and outer diameter are D1 = 5 cm and D2 = 5.5 cm,
respectively. The pipe is covered with a 3‐cm thick glass wool
insulation [k = 0.05 W/ m. °C]. Heat is lost to the surroundings at
T∞, 2 = 5°C by natural convection and radiation, with a combined
heat transfer coefficient of h2 = 18 W/m2. °C. Taking the heat
transfer coefficient inside the pipe to be h1 = 60 W/m2. °C, determine
the rate of heat loss from the steam per unit length of the pipe. Also
determine the temperature drop across the pipe shell and the
insulation.

Example 2: Heat Loss from Cylindrical Wall (With
Internal Heat Generation)
2. An electrical current of 700 A flows through a stainless steel cable
having a diameter of 5 mm and an electrical resistance of 6 (10)-4 Ω/m
(i.e., per meter of cable length). The cable is in an environment having
a temperature of 300C, and the total coefficient associated with
convection and radiation between the cable and the environment is
approximately 25 W/m2 _ K.
 
a. If the cable is bare, what is its surface temperature?
b. If a coating of electrical insulation is applied to the cable, with a
contact resistance of 0.02 m2 _ K/W, what is the cable surface
temperature?

Example 3: Oil Tank Heat Loss (Cylindrical + Spherical)
3. A storage tank consists of a cylindrical section that has a length and
inner diameter of L = 2 m and Di = 1m, respectively, and two
hemispherical end sections. The tank is constructed from 20-mm-thick
glass (Pyrex) and is exposed to ambient air for which the temperature is
300 K and the convection coefficient is 10 W/m2 _ K. The tank is used
to store heated oil, which maintains the inner surface at a temperature
of 400 K. Determine the electrical power that must be supplied to a
heater submerged in the oil if the prescribed conditions are to be
maintained. Radiation effects may be neglected, and the Pyrex may be
assumed to have a thermal conductivity of 1.4 W/m_ K.
